Show us your bags!

[expjawa]

Bike bags, I mean. Per chagovatoloco's request. Carrier bags, saddle bags, handlebar bags, tank bags, panniers, trunks, etc. Show us what you've used, bought, adapted, and lashed to your bike to give you a place to carry all your worldly possessions. I'll start.

LLBean canvas shoulder bags on my Schwinn Classic Deluxe Seven:

Basil panniers on the "purple bike" I built for my mother:

Banjo Brothers barrel saddle bag on my Raleigh:

Topeak MTX trunk bag on my Diamondback Response Sport:

And on my Varsity V-Rat winter bike:

Nothing as cool as those. I really like the ones you adapted.

Nashbar panniers I've had for ages

Messenger bag

Gone thru a few rear rack bags on MTB

My latest trunk bag

i rock an army surplus bag nestled in the rack just below and at the back of my seat. its perfect for my PBR tallboy.

i really should get better pics of it.
sometimes i add bags, chrome, dewalt, ikea. etc.

sometimes i just add an extra bike.

I'm going to cheat somewhat for another entry. I had a Storm Case that I installed on my former KLR650 as a trunk. Had plenty of room, was water tight and kinda worked with the bike's squared-off, chunky asthetics. Wish I hadn't sold it.

Twowheelfan's Dewalt case made me think of it; my buddy has a similar Dewalt case on his KLR. A similar (but smaller) Storm or Pelican case would work pretty well on a MTB or clunker...

that dewalt case actually HAS the saw in it! that bike is my S.U.B. i ride it in NYC to work everyday, rain or shine, sleet or snow. am a scenic carpenter/prop stylist/set builder. for photoshoots, so my payload changes from job to job. prop bikes one day, circ saw and screwgun the next.
sometimes i need to run up to the flower district and carry a load of flowers to set. i need to be very versatile! its great! no insurance, no registration, no gas! i had to sell my motorcycles recently. sorry to see them go. i feel ya. cool use of pelican case tho! i have a couple, but they are too large even for my bike. i see you have some more anvilcases, or calzone cases back there. video equip?

there was another thread not too long ago i stuck all mine in, but i think i've done this one since then

the rack bolts on, then the bag attatches to the rack. sort of like one i made for my main rider, only i can take the bag off easier and without the rack. the holder and bag are bolted together on my main bike

On the rear: a 50-year old leather saddlebag,which came with my first motorbike,30 years ago (a '56 Matchless G3L).
On the front: a motorcycle toolroll, for some necessary tools.
On my own back: a modified hardshell backpack, made by Bobblbee (Scandinavian).
And last: my ammobox, mounted on the bottomtube,holding a 9,7 amp. battery+carhorn.

Instrumentation equipment. I'm an automotive engineer; the cases contain data collection equipment for vehicle testing - transducers, slip rings, telemetry bits, etc. Fun stuff...

Something for my tools...something for my Jack Daniels.
