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 thing looks great appears to be well made, very easy to install very solid with easy access to gas tank

So far I'm really happy with this bag. It's basically the size I had hoped for and attaches/fits well on the tank of my KLR 650. There's basically no organizing compartments inside. Everything just sort of commingles. Other than movable velcro compartments (think camera bag) I can't imagine predetermined compartments because every ride changes. By the end of the day getting into the bag a few times, everything will be rearranged. It's easy to get disconnect and take with you if you leave the bike. If you're not using it straps should probably be removed as they would flap and slap in the wind. Figure I'll be using it 99% of the time so straps will stay permanently mounted for now. Lots of room and while I may never use it or carry it, the rain cover is a nice touch. If I was traveling and expecting rain I suppose I would keep it with me but it would eat up a fair amount of space in the tank bag. So far so good, I like it!

very good quality bag for a very reasonable price. Ive owned several NR products over the past couple decades and I still have/use them. Cant offer a higher endorsement than that!

One of the best purchases I've made for my motorcycle. The storage is the necessary, also I can store my jacket inside, neatly folded. It has withstood dust and rain, although water can seep in if you don't use the protective cover, but it has a really good durability. The straps fit perfectly, so it stays securely attached to the motorcycle tank.

Bought this for my KLR650 and use it daily. The bag mounts easily to my crash bars and around the stem. Sits on the gas tank in the right position and doesn't affect the maneuverability of the handlebars. When expanded, it can get in the way a little in steep or exceptionally challenging terrain, but I quickly got used to it and just rode with it. On the trip in the picture, the bag was expanded to max capacity. I had snacks (beef jerky, dried grapes, several granola bars), a 20 oz water bottle (my 40oz insulated camelback will fit, but not recommended for long trip), glasses in a hard glass case, mileage notebook, rhino tire gauge, small first aid kit, about 25 feet of paracord, cold steel knife (in side pocket), insurance info, pen, small battery pack for my phone, my cell phone, maps, and small flashlight. This particular ride started out with 60-75 miles of constant rain. The rain cover fits very well, and it was easy to see my phone in the top pouch. There was one instance where, in very steep, rocky and challenging technical terrain, the rain fly came off without me noticing and it was run over by another rider. On our way back down I found it and while the clear cover was a little scuffed, it was otherwise undamaged. I ride daily and the pack is awesome for carrying my lunch. It zips down to very compact but quickly expands if needed. One note I will make is to ensure that the rain fly is down over the edges all the way when riding at higher speeds as it will fill up with air and come loose. It does have elastic bands that can go over the mounting straps, but I didn't use them. I pulled it all the way over the bag and cinched the drawstring and it solved the issue. I HIGHLY recommend this bag and am looking at getting another Nelson-Rigg in a smaller size for my wife's XT250.

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
