    Default Pet Carrier for Ryker

    Looking for ideas for a pet carrier for a small dog. Need something that can be mounted to a Ryker max mount.

    Bought a Kuryakyn Pet Palace but its a bit big for the max mount and not very secure or stable.

    Looking for ideas, any help is appreciated!

    Check out my Profile Pic & the tank bag contents (look left. ) Max was only small (orright, tiny then! ) but he fitted in the Can-Am tank bag fine with the top open, and that was great for the fine days. He was in a harness that had a short strap that went thru the bottom of the bag & clipped to the mounting straps, so even if the bike flipped he would be held into the hollow between the dash top & the seat/trunk top. He also had a similarly secured & larger tank bag with an optional mesh top that could zip in, so that on our longer trips he had a full cover that he could easily get down into & be fully protected from the weather. That larger 'tank bag' could also be mounted on the RT's pillion seat, with the bag straps going around/under the seat & the dog harness clipping onto the seat hinges so that he could ride back there e en more protected, but he enjoyed being up front a whole lot more, leaning into the turns & posing in his jacket & doggles for the plebs in their cages as we passed them!

    A similar 'tank bag' could easily strap firmly onto/around the max-mount, but I would suggest you also use a harness to keep the dog secured insid;, and get some 'doggles' for it too - their eyes can be badly damaged by the wind at road speeds, let alone any bugs or wind-borne debris, and the doggles protect them from all that as well as helping with the 'biker dog' image!
