Baglux do a whoopa bag, which is very good and 30 litres, but again is not the cheapest.
I used one on a few different bikes and they are very good and it was tested in all weathers.

I have previously used an oxford humpback tail pack, a bit fiddly to fit under the seat, and you still need bungees, but the bag itself zips on and off the base which stays fitted to the bike. £40-ish iirc.

I have one and can recommend it for the R1100s

Yours for £10 if you like?

Thanks guy's
Archie - Thanks very much for the gernerous offer but I think the Oxford bag may be a bit small for what I need. How many litres is it ?

Can't remember what the actual capacity of the
Bags Connection one is, but it is adjustable height and extremely stable. I use it on all three of my bikes and find it great.
In its expanded mode - it is as big as you would want in a tailpack.
I connect the straps to the pannier rails on the BoxerCup, and to the sub-frame and pannier mounts on the Adventure.

Not sure that it is 42 ltrs................. Rule of thumb - does it look like it would hold eight 5ltr screenwash bottles?
I'd have it somewhere about 25 ltrs max.

I'm only quoting Oxford products, I don't think they'd claim that for no reason.
My 52l topbox doesn't look like it will hold 10 5 litre bottles either
Rule of broken thumb maybe?? Holding ten 5 litre bottles is different to holding 50 litres.
I'm not saying it's the best tailpack in the world, although it's pretty good.
I'm just trying to find a home for it as I have 2 of them.
