Since I have both bags (dealer included one), I thought I'd post a side by side to help those that might be considering one. The SR 21 (pic on left) is larger capacity at 5.5 gallons (21 L) but has a restricted smaller opening on the top of the bag. The Sport bag (pic right) is 4.5 gallons (17 L) but the opening on top is larger and non restrictive and is the same size as the bag.
Personally I like the looks better of the SR 21 bag, its lower profile makes it easier to swing a leg over, and its lines match the lines of the Ryker better. The Sport bag doesnt look bad, its just that the square elongated design doesnt look as natural on the Ryker, its also slightly smaller. I looked at other bags and accessories from other manufacturers, some I liked and some I didnt.
I did like the quick release/attach modular design of the LinQ system better, and their offerings from tool/fishing rod holders, top bags and even a thermal hard box cooler helped make my decision to go with the LinQ system. What I dont like about it, its expensive. That being said I own a Harley and recently a Moto Guzzi Griso, their accessories are just as expensive too.
Rick, I was looking at the pictures of your FINE ride, and I got to ask, when you riding down the road where it's just rained, do you get a wet butt from that open fender in the rear?? Inquiring mines have to know

I've only had it for just under two weeks and haven't ridden on any wet roads yet, but when I do, I hope not to get a wet butt.

On the Rally model the Max Mount is standard with an inner liner (almost like a high mount fender) that stops most of the splash
Below are some photos of how I mounted the Givi mounting plate on my Max Mount. I used large washers and shorter bolts instead of the Givi bracket in the rear so it would fit under the fender.
