OK cool. Yeah I have the 24L also. Not sure why anyone would want the non expandable without pockets. They probably are the type to order plain hamburgers too.

I think the 14L is slightly more compact overall.... If it actually exists!
I'm actually leaning toward the smaller one now, as I already have a ruddy great GIVI for when I need to bring the kitchen sink with me.
And I only have the aircooled Multi anyway so I'm not worthy of cheese on me burger.

Update: response from Cortech -

Bill,

Thank you for contacting us. Yes, the bag is offered in a 14L version and 24L version. Hope this helps!

Ride safe,
Tour Master/ Cortech

Mine still sits in the garage unmounted....I wish I had returned it. Shitty design for mounting at least on the MTS.

biggziff,

Not sure if you've tried this... At first glance it appeared that the straps were too long to work, however after a bit of head scratching I found a good way to attach the bag. Not quite intuitive but it works well.

The trick is to go the opposite ways with the strap to add length to the straps. Right strap to left side of bag, left strap to right side of bag. Picture illustrates what I mean...

Also, on the rack I use the included bag base piece. On the pillion seat, I un-velcro that piece since it's not needed.

 

[biggziff]

Thanks for the pic. I have a Dynamic rack on mine and I did try using the straps the way you suggest, but couldn't find a route where they'd hold and not be way too long. I even bought new strap and buckles and tried making shorter straps, but the curves in the straps were so severe that the buckles just released all the time.

Bummer. Ebay I guess huh?

I ordered the baby tail bag and it fits exactly on the bang-fab rack, as if designed for it.
Shortened the front straps to almost nothing and the rear straps out all the way and crossed over, the mounting is very firm and tidy.
14L though...? I think that capacity must be wrong. Thankfully.

Just for comparison, I use a bags connection and it fits the rack perfectly. Slid enough to use as a pillion back rest when needed and has a waterproof inner liner

Bag looks good Duc_Audi! Nice bike too!

Does that bag require a specific rack? What rack do you have? And can you elaborate on how it attaches on the Multi?

The fit and finish on the Bags Connection bags seems top notch. They always seem to have a great overall shape.

The only problem with the bags connection bags, for me, is that the cost/markup seems so high. I've got a friend with a BC tank bag that's faded from the sun after about a year, so I don't know that the "get what you pay for" saying fits, but maybe so. I hear people love them, and the fit seems great, but dang! The price!

Regardless, the bag looks awesome and I think it's a good choice for someone not so frugal as I.

Edit. Nice stand too!!!!!! Is that the MotoMFG?

 

[biggziff]

Damn...this is killing me....I tried again last night to mount that thing to the Dynamic rack...nothing seems to work. Maybe I'm an idiot.

Looks awesome man!

I don't think so. That rack looks like it would be hard to make work with that bag. Ebay it and be done with it or list it here for like $90 shipped and get yourself a different one.

Is the watercooled bike's version of the Dynamic rack the same design as the air-cooled? If so I'll take some closeup photos tomorrow, of how I routed the straps. Admittedly the bag is not the exact same thing so the straps may be different too, but I'll post it anyway.

Looks awesome man!

Thanks, I'm thrilled with it. Perfect for short rides I think.

mounting Cortech tail pack

I just bought the Cortech Super 2.0 tail pack for my PP. I mounted it to the rear seat. I don't carry passengers so I just cut the straps to the right length and sewed on the clips, took off the rear seat and put the straps on underneath the seat. I use the pad they include to go between the bag and the seat. Very clean looking. I'll post pictures tomorrow. I use the bag to carry my Autocom system with Kenwood radio. I use the Autocom to listen to music and wire the radar detector through. The bag works perfect and is a clean mount. But like I said I don't use the back seat for passengers.

 

[Jetpack]

If it is any consolation your grief is my relief. I really wanted a smaller tail bag to replace the big volume DP hard case and the interest in the Cortech 2.0 was very compelling. However because of your problem, I looked at almost every tailbag out there to avoid fitment issues. I settled on the Moose Racing tail rack bag. It is quite small but it expands, comes with a rain cover, is very well made, and fits on the top case rack nicely.

Gg,

It's on an altrider rack. It actually fits like it was made for it
Took the straps and went on the sides for the right front, under the rack to the left rear and and the right rear to the left front
Fits absolutely secure and follows the contours well
My wife rides as a 2up and she feels much more comfortable with it on the back

The inside liner is fully waterproof and when I get caught in the rain, I take all electronics, wallets and anything that needs o stay dry and through it in there.

Quality seems top notch and deigned for multiple uses.

The motomfg stand is also worked out very well

Took a little fine tuning but now that it is all set up, if anyone needs the measurements, let me know. Like the use of the safety pin so it never slides out and the ease I can push it to the storage area so I can get the car in the garage in front of it

Awesome thanks!

Do you find that crap falls out of the bag since it opens on the side instead of on the top?

strapping young bags

Hey BigZiff, this is how the Cortech 2.0 (14L) tailbag straps to the Bang-Fab (aka Dynamic) rack on the air cooled bike.

Front straps shortened to about 1.5"

How front straps look from the front.

Rear straps loosened almost all the way, then crossed over.

 

[biggziff]

Thanks much..I'm going to play around with it some more later today. I need something on there when I'm not running the side cases. I'm getting tired of stuffing things inside my jacket!

photo's as promised

So this is how I attached the bag to my passenger seat/URL[/URL[URL=http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/FUNTRUN/media/Image3_zps4b957134.jpg.html][/URL[URL=http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/FUNTRUN/media/Image6_zps5c95c726.jpg.html][/URL[URL=http://s1083.photobucket.com/user/FUNTRUN/media/Image_zpsacf72ac8.jpg.html]

With a little ingenuity you can probably mount this pack on just about any rack or back of a bike. If nothing else you could buy some black bungy cords and sew them to the bottom of pack and you would have an attachment system just like the previous edition of this product that could be easily attached and unattached to just about anything. I've used the previous model for over 15 years now on several bikes.
