Cool thanks for the helplucky_7 said:You have to get one with BOTH a chest strap and a waist strap. Having both of those really takes the load off of the shoulders and keeps it really tight to your back.
A few of my buddies have HMK packs and they really like them.

I have an Ogio backpack (three six is the model I believe) and it is excellent. It's not overly large so you can't over pack it. What's really cool is that it has a shovel pouch on the front and I picked up a shovel on sale last year.
I don't even know I'm wearing it most of the time. But the storage of a few key items (survival gear, spare goggles, etc is key). It has the chest and waist straps as well as a lined goggle pouch, water bladder pouch (I don't use it).
I think it's actually designed for snowboarders, but it was an excellent ebay pickup.
Photo included.
I got it here - through ebay

I got the same Klim back pack last year and it works great, hardly know you are even wearing it!

I'm sorry but there's no storage on the XTX. Get yourself a backpack and stop whining.

Can't find an Ogio Three 6 anywhere...all out of stock.

Anybody use the blue Yamaha performance back pack? They have one one ebay right now, and didn't know if you liked it as much as the klim? I kind of like that it has the reflective piping. I do mostly trail riding, not boondocking. Want it to feel free, not like it is tugging at each turn/corner.

I bought the same bag. Are you planning on mounting it over the seat portion or further back over the plastic muffler cover? The heat from the muffler concerns me. The plastic cover still heats up. If you installed it, pics would be great.

pretty much where it is sitting there--on the seat just ahead of themuffler cover--still plenty of seat.

I'm going to look around Novi to see what's available. I'm probably leaning toward a Yamaha backpack but I like the looks of the KLIM pictured above. I have the same concerns about what it will feel like but if I'm on a long trail run I think I'm willing to give it a try. I've never used a backpack before.sheetwright said:Superman said:My sled is set up like Blu2U2's. With the tank bag, saddlebags, large windshield bag (with tall shield) I can go for over a week on a bagger trip. I'm also picking up a backpack this year. I've been happy with Yami accessories.
This may sound dumb, but any back pack more comfortable then another? Especially on the bumps. Any one more water proof also? Remember the days when you were a kid and that thing dug in your shoulders.

With the 4 mounting points, ( 2 straps to the bumper and 2 to the tunnel) I have never had a problem with getting after it on a rough trail with this saddlebag.
