I purchased the non-touring GL1800 knowing I would not have the extra capacity for luggage space.
I picked up a few luggage bags since last October. The most used are the “barrel” type. These fit nicely strapped down on the rear luggage rack. In my opinion these look nice and very simple to remove.
The T-Bag shown as the featured image is the model I use most often. It is on the bike 90% of the time. The capacity is large enough for me to carry my Alpaka daily travel bags.
The Saddlemen barrel bag above is my “Uber Eats” go to choice. It is large enough to carry most food orders made for two. I carry a set of bungee cords in case the items are too large.
I really like using the barrel bag setup. I don’t miss using the full tour pack on the Generation 5 Goldwing. The sporty look and feel of the Goldwing Bagger is my preference.
