I've used mine a lot over the last 3-4 years. I do have a couple issues with it that others may have already overcome.

The bungee straps will destroy the paint on the sides of a sport bike tail. They pass through the bag, wrap around the tail and fasten at the passenger foot pegs. Where the straps bend around the tail will be missing paint fairly quickly.

The carrying handle on the back will bounce off the tail and eventually wear off the paint on the top of the tail.

The elastic rain cover will not stay on at highway speeds. A little bit of wind seems to be enough for it to work itself free and fly off. If you're lucky enough to see it in your mirror or be followed by other riders you have a chance of recovering it.

*my 2¢*
