    nelson riggs

    how is the quality?

    longevity? waterprooficity?

    bag will be in the sun indefinitely...but I did that with tourmaster saddle bags, and they sun faded within a few months

    I found a guy that used to work in moto sales and has a handful of "salesman" variants of nelson-riggs tank bags for $40-$50...he pretty much said those were the models that salesman used on the road...so they couldn't be sold as new

    I got this one (pretty much looks brand new) for $40



    checked CG because they're the gold standard for cheap...and their cheapest tank bag is also $40...I vaguely remember the name nelson-riggs, so I bought it

    here's his ebay auction: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Nelson-R...item2ecb4d0cba

    and he's got a garage full of the stuff...I might buy another one haha

    I have a few of them. One sPent years on the bikes and was used everyday. They're fine.

    Not waterproof though, although they did come with a separate rain cover.

    Any black nylon will fade in the sun. Get some Aerospace 303 and give it a quick squirts every month or so.
