R18B
Looking for just a bit more space on my R18B for road tripping. This bag seems like just enough to strap on and fit the couple other things I can’t fit in my side bags.

Curious about how it might strap down to the R18B.

I do have a backrest and rack sitting in my garage along with a sissy bar bag from Biltwell. That’s an hour or so of work to put the rest on and off (wouldn’t want it on for regular riding), so looking for something that’d strap down on the seat securely and quickly enough to save some wrenching.

Did you ever find out how this attaches to the rear seat? I'd like to grab one for my R18 but can't find any info on it either.

I've since sold the bag and the bike, but the bag comes with 4 straps with looped ends. On my B, I lashed the two rear straps around the saddle bag brackets and then the front two I had looped through my rear crash guards. Assuming you can find similar tie-down points on anything except the bare-bones version.

I will say though, for the cost, this bag is NOT worth it. It's small, it's limited in mounting options, and it's BMW priced. I bought a Saddlemen BR3400 for nearly half the price of the BMW bag and it had an insane amount of capacity and better mount options. Never got to use it though, as the Beemer broke down and I sold it before getting to trip with that bag, so I returned it. I would 100% skip the BMW bag if I were ever faced with the choice again.
 
I used a large one of these for years when I did a lot of camping. Looking at a medium one for long trips on the TC. They are best bags I’ve used on bikes.

Medium Motofizz Camping Seat Bag

Everything you’ll want to carry (clothing, tent, food and camping gear), fits neatly within these detailed and cavernous seat bags. Outside there’s a variety of strap systems designed to secure foam sleeping pads and the like.

Not that it helps, but I found that the trunk liner from my Victory Vision sits perfectly on the passenger seat of my TC. And it holds A LOT.
