Hey Kim, I just gotta ask, how do ride with that much hanging off the end of your luggage rack?
Holy crap dat sucker is one long ass bag! 
I notice you got 93 octane at the pump, nice! 
we only got 91 round here in freak'n California!
The picture is actually lying a little bit, but it sure looks funny. We stopped at a gas station and needed some stuff in the big bag, hanged the small back behind, and the opportunity knocked. Strapped in it looks a lot smaller. The big Kury bag holds enough for a long weekend for the two of us, the smaller bag I bring for camera gear around town and an extra sweater. The smaller one from BDM also double functions as a backpack.Hey Kim, I just gotta ask, how do ride with that much hanging off the end of your luggage rack?
Here we are loaded for a week, including rain gear, on a 2000 mile ride:

Holy crap Kim! 2,000 mi!
Damn,I can barley get my wife to go 100 miles in a day, if I am lucky, but 2,000 in a week, that's a hell of a lot of miles a day on a K9, 285.7 miles a day to be exact! I see how the new bagger is definitely going to be nice on the longer rides! 
Men doesn't have a sticker and is good for 100lbs, tested by yours truly....
2000 miles in a week isn't really bad. We take our time, stay off the interstate, love every second of it, and use nice hotels to rest up properly and do it all over again. Contemplating riding to Whichita in June but haven't finalized the plans yet. That trip would be a 3500 mile ride over a week....

10lbs is lawyer talk, nothing to do with reality...

Yeah I have an O'Neil bag that usually weighs about 35 to 40 lbs when we take our trips.. I dont worry too much about it.. but as stated above.. that's why that bagger will come in handy for ya and as to why I want one and not a damn harley.. lol

I got the saddlemen 3400 pack for long weekends fits two people.
If it's just me it will last me a week. And I use it as a backrest.
Plenty of pics of my pack on 1,800- 2,000 mile trips. Usually 4 days. Like Viking I stay off the interstate, not my thing

I don't know if you can tell but it is wider to help support more of the bag better, I didn't know if I would like it for sure but couldn't find a stock one so went with this and love it! 
Here's a better pic.
