Taking your pet with you...

Taking your pet with you...
I'd love to take my Chihuahua mix with me on the bike, but I can't find a tank mounted pet carrier. All I've seen is sissy bar mounted or attaching to the rear fenders for cruisers. I don't want to backpack him as I'd like him to be able to just hang out and lay down. Any suggestions are appreciated!

What on earth...?
Found this one that attaches to the tank:
Jet Set Motorcycle Pet Carrier Bag
Although honestly I am usually more comfortable with a backpack than a tank bag, I've found. This is personal as I have my bars pretty low so I like having more room in front of me. Would you consider a pet backpack?
There also may be more options if you look at a couple of stiff tank bags that you can just unzip for your little doggie's head.

LOL! I wouldn't call him laid back by any means. He tries to eat the air if the windows are down in the car, so I put him in a backpack against my chest on the bike. He was a bit skeptical when I fired it up, but took a liking to it in a matter of a few blocks!

Very cool. I used to breed poms and once in a while carry one in my jacket. You could also custom make somthing, like take a regular pet carrier and sew on some mounting system.
I always make tank bags by sewing magnets into a really good backpack. This way its the best of both worlds and way more funtional.

May look into other forums a bit as well. Not to many folks check around these parts for touring ideas.

Years ago while eating at a local restaurant, I saw a rider on an mid 70's Triumph loading his Golden Retriever on the back in a modified sissy bar, 3 sided mesh cage. The dog tucked in beautifully and was quite the site in a leather helmet and goggles. At the time I thought it was a stunt to impress chicks, but 6 months later during winter, when I saw them on I-405 in the rain and rush hour, I knew they were the real deal!

I saw a tv special on this awesome old coot who towed his pony around with his goldwing in a standup trailer which he made himself. It was just a steel cage that surrounded the animal. He towed the pony to kids parties at like 65mph. Very insane.

My family's dog history....2 "Oldschool + HUGE" <Great Danes> Then 2 Bull Mastiffs. All deceased. CURRENTLY: 1 Three legged Collie <cancer is a @#$> + 1 NEW Great Dane...I say new because the breed is bread smaller than ~ 10 year ago.
