    Thinking about getting the Show ChromeŽ Tour Trunk Rack for my topcase. Am wondering which travel Luggage people are using with this Trunk rack and your thoughts about them.

    I think if you explain what kind of luggage you're considering you might get more useful responses. The specific luggage rack isn't all that relevant, really.

    I have the Show Chrome rack and we use a small duffle bag. We put our jackets in it when we are touring.

    The Luggage rack is a certain size 18" by 12", there are actual travel bags made for this type of rack, got lost looking at Amazon and Various Motorcycle sites. So I thought I would ask here what are people using with this Rack.

    I bought the BRP F3 luggage for the trunk and frunk. Fit's great and very spacious. If you're considering a bag to strap on somewhere, I'd consider a dry bag, many available.

    I just ordered these for the saddlebags today, I like how they allow the hard bag to get filled out.

    Just saw your looking for something for the rack, I'd go with a dry pack and would use a ratchet strap to tie it down.

    I have a 2012 RTL and I use the BRP supplied luggage for the bags. I also put the Show Chrome rack. I have a bag made by Hopnel that I have had for over 30 years. It firs the rack very well, Has 2 nice little pockets that the passenger can reach easily reach and came with a waterproof cover. I use it for my rain gear. I think they only come in black now but they came in many colors to match goldeings. Mine is brown (my Spyder is Lava Bronze) and I have had them in Red and Blue.

    Ordered the Topcase and front luggage for the F3 Limited from Amazon, ordered the side cases from SPYDERPOPS, that will give maximum usage of those areas. YUP there are a bunch of different choices to use on the luggage rack. It was making my head spin, that's why I am asking what other F3 owners are using with their rack.

    I wouldn’t put anything heavy on top of the topcase as your rack is attached to thin plastic. Rain gear or an extra jackets would be the most I’d put up there.

    Hey Cajun!! Check this out first. In the middle of April, I was looking for a bag for my Show Chrome rack, like you are now and I came across this OUTRAGEOUS BUY....
    Tour Master Nylon Cruiser 3 Tour Trunk Rack Bag from MX Megastore for ONLY $49.99 -- half of what others are selling it for! And free shipping to boot! It's their item # 8206-0105-00.
    It's a very well made bag with attachments that match the rack.
    Ours is a red, black and chrome 2017 F3 Limited. Bought new in 2/2019. The avatar is my first bike back in 1952, a Simplex Servi-Cycle. Photo taken at the Barber Museum.
