Nelson-Rigg Trails End Lite Motorcycle Tank Bag

I have a KLR and a DR and they are very different in terms of what sort of tank bag they will accept. I used a Cortech bag on my KLR and have been happy with it but the DR has much less real estate. This bag fits well and really does exactly what I need, carries my paperwork and a few essentials. The bag appears to be very well made. The clear touch screen area seems to work, at least while the bag is new, though I doubt I will use it for a phone. My Cortech bag is probably three times the size but considering it is unused empty space, this much smaller Nelson Rigg looks like it will do the job and fits the bike's real estate really well. Installed, this bag looks neat...neat in the sense of well thought out and not messy or kludged together looking. I was able to install it just below the gas cap so it may be I will be able to fill without even moving it. The installation instructions are unclear...more work should be done in that area, for sure. I figured it out, but if a company is going to include written installation instructions, it would be nice if they actually told you how to do the installation. What comes with the bag ain't that. That is why they got 4 stars from me in the installation category.

This is a high value basic tank bag that mounts well on my big Adventure with a big tank. The steeply sloped bag mates well with the tank shape and is secured with a four point strap system. I have found that the four point system works better for me than relying upon expensive fuel filler clip systems. The materials are nice enough, good zippers and good pulls. The assembly quality is fine. No obvious flaws or missed seams. The attachment of straps to the bottom of bag is very stout. The design is OK. There is an expansion zipper & pleat that does not get in the way of using the bag in the small configuration. The styling is good with basic black and small yellow label, no excessive branding or flashy statement on what is a utilitarian item. The vinyl map pocket is accessible from inside the bag and has a spot for phone - not terribly useful since most phones will overheat in that location. There is a light nylon flap inside that bag that separates the map pocket from the rest of the bag, this is finished only so-so. I cut a piece of black textured ABS to put in that spot to add structure and make it look a bit more finished. I bought an Amazon Warehouse "used" item that was basically in perfect working order.

Love this bag, nice fit and looks good too pretty east to install and does not get in the way of riding. If you need a bit of storage space this bag is for you

Update: I bumped up my rating from 3 to 4 stars. I spent some time looking at other options for a Tiger 900, and at the end, I didn't find anything I was sure enough about to spend a lot more money. Going ahead with this tank bag for my planned ride in the Southeast this coming summer. As I said below, I had lost the rain cover. I found a replacement on their website for $15.95! I was pleasantly surprised, expecting that they might really want a high price for a replacement part that you can't find elsewhere. And, free shipping on that cover! This mostly served my purposes on a trip to Alaska. But, lately I've been looking for other tank bags, so what does that tell you? For context, this is the first I've had for an adventure or enduro bike, and there are necessary compromises there because of the fuel tank shape, and leaving room for moving around on the seat while off road. I've been used to generously-sized bags for street bikes. The fit on my Triumph Tiger 900 Rally Pro is decent. After a bit of riding, the bag contents settle a little, and this requires snugging down the straps again (not a flaw, in my judgement; I expect you'd encounter this with any bag this shape), but, after that, it stays put even off road and after dumping the bike. The bag never gets in the way while riding. The rain cover fits great, and does a good job keeping things dry. Unfortunately, this cover was one of the casualties of my Alaska ride; it decided to run off at a quick stop to change gloves. Surprisingly, not a lot of water got into the back without the cover. Yes, water soaked through the fabric during a prolonged ride in the rain, but didn't intrude immediately, or in volume. Now, the problems come in the basic design. The rear portion dips down low, so lots of small stuff gets lost at the bottom. (Maybe I'll look for a small bag just the right size for this area and keep small things in that). Would have been nice to have a couple of compartments along the side and/or back to organize small things. The side pockets are the biggest disappointment. From past tank bags, I've been used to keeping spare gloves in the side pockets. Not remotely possible with these pockets. You can fit only small things in there, and then, it's hard to make use of the length. And opening the zipper allows small things to fall out half the time. Some kind of strap(s) for carrying off the bike would have been appreciated. But then again, this is the budget option, so maybe it's just not possible at this price point.

Works as advertized. Quality product. Watched numerous youtube videos of tank bags in this category. Purchased and used on a motorcycle trip in high to low temps, dry to pouring rain for hours. As stated in product details it is water resistant. Never had any water in main compartment. The top transparent space did collect moisture. Both from condensation during quick temperature / humidity changes and during hard rains. I did not use the included rain cover. Anything placed in this transparent area will get hot from direct sun exposure. Installed on a BMW R1250 GS used with USB cords routed inside for power ports to charge iPhone, Mifi, helmet Cardo intercom, etc. Specifically purchased this bag as it has a cord pass through slot in front. Works great. All my Rigg Gear bags work as advertized. Would buy again. Other option would have been the Tusk Olympus small tank bag (also has cord pass through slot in front).

Bought this for my KLR650 3 days before my trip, delivery next day, easy to install. Just a great addition to my gear, definetlay a must have to store all you pocket stuff, great touchscreen pocket on top for your phone/gps and a rain bag is included… Nelson Riggs you can go wrong! Bought their saddle bags and they are bullitproof

Great bag and easy to install.

Good> quality, colour, size of main pocket Not so good, side pockets too small even for a small phone, cable outlet is facing rider not handlebars so a bit strongly with charging port as you can’t put power bank in side pocket

It worked like a charm only the straps torn, would love to get new one

glad i bought it from here such a W purchase
