    Hi folks

    Need some advice.

    Mulling over how to set up my 08 FLHRC luggage wise. How much storage do you need? What setups are you using? I am kind of leaning toward getting the leather Tour Pak then maybe getting an after market large tour bag from "T-Bag" or "Kuryakyn" and somehow strapping it down on the passenger seat behind me but .....I don't know.....looks like tying down the top of the bag could be a problem. I've been scratching my head on this all afternoon. Any ideas? do's? Don'ts?

    Take care

    John

    if your traveling oneup, the sissybar bags turned around so you can lean against them are cool. also,depending on how long ya goin for motels and campgrounds have laundrimats to clean your clothes. if ya gonna buy t's on the road, dont pack any, wear the ones ya buy.......you dont say how long a trip you are planning or what you want to do. there are different ways to pack and lots of tips on packing......i know abby can give a ton of tips on packing......hopefullly she will chime in here...................:)
