Home spun tailpack

So came across this somewhat insulated bag in my local mega thrift store. Looked like it was meant to be a tailpack so sewed on some quick releases to clip it under the seat and now I have a tailpack for a whopping $5.

Slightly wacky that I need more cargo on top of the 46 liter givi but its a great place to tote a cover.

I'll take one in yellow.

What's going on with your rear cowl? Did you modify that to fit the Givi wingrack?

You mean yours isnt like that? Yeah, my whole commute is lane splitting so I narrowed the tail so my givi e20's will fit in the same width as my mirrors when they are on. So total of 92 liters of capacity and still lane splitting thin. (92 plus the new tail pack)

Cool idea. You'll need the extra space to carry those new born diapers! If the color bothers ya, places like Joanne Fabrics has stuff to die the material another color.

Edit: I do the same thing with all my sets of keys. Use of a carabiner makes it so easy to clip onto almost anything you're wearing. They're awesome.
