Tail Pack for 2005 Bonny

All
Looking for recommendations for a tail pack for my 2005 Bonny.
I don't want a rack sticking out the back.
I do want something that is good looking, relatively easy to attach, and not a kings ransom to acquire?

Thanks

I've been looking for a tail pack for my '08 Bonny, too. Here's what I came up with tonight while piddling in the garage:

I had an old Vietnam-era U.S. Army ALICE pack. Disconnected the straps. ran a couple of bungees through it, and: Voila!

Easy to attach, doesn't cost a king's ransom. Good looking? Well, the olive drab may not match my bike's color scheme so well, but I figure I can dye it black and it will look OK. In any event, two out of three aint bad.

Same problem here. I was going to get one of these (although it's not cheap):

but I can't see it anymore on the Eclipse Web site at:

I'll be interested to know what you turn up. I've fitted a grab rail because I like it and prefer to tie things to it rather than the seat.

Stewrun,

If you still have your stock Bonnie seat there is a good answer and it's realtively cheap.

Cortech makes a tail bag that fits on the back of the bonnie seat and holds a lot of stuff, easily attachs and removes in seconds and doesn't cost an arm and leg.

I only have a Scrambler. I could strap it on and take a pic.

Are you refering to the Sport Bag or the Tri-Bag?

Thanks
