Has any body use an SW Motech Evo tail bag? Contemplating getting one, but would like to get some real world feedback before pulling the trigger. Is the quality and features enough to justify the $$$ over some of the competition at 1/2 the price?
Thanks
Chris

Grumpy Goat had a video awhile back on one of the Evo Tail bags.
Are you looking at the newly released Pro bag or the previous one?
I was not able to find his videos but Wayne will probably be along shortly.

This video shows the Pro bags. Start at 49:55 to see the tailbag I think you're asking about.

All my vids are easily found on
my YouTube channel. Y'all could easily subscribe ... trying to hit 1000 subs ...
Chris - here is the video. A follow-up video on actually using it on a trip will follow as soon as I do go on a road trip with the S1000R. You may note from my reviews, that there is no BS and it is straight-up functionality-based. I also have a matching tank bag on that bike which is (used more and) working out quite nicely.

I was thinking there was a link on the homepage and was looking there.
I bookmarked your page so I can find it later.

Since it lives with the S1000R, strictly speaking it would be “off topic” on RSWasserboxer, so the channel is the only common platform. ?
