So I have a cortech sport saddle bags but I don't like the look of it. My house has a iron gate and the bike with the saddle bags can barely fit through it. I have to ride up on it just right in order to go through it without the bag scrapping against the gate.
I just bought a tourmaster tailbag (couldn't afford the cortech tail bag) and took the saddle bags off. I like the look of the tailbag on the bike but now I have problem getting on the bike. I'm 5'7" and the bike the stock heights. I can't swing my leg over the tailbag without hitting it. I tried to straighten out my leg and go between the tank and the bag but my shoe would leave a mark on the seat. The best way for me is to lay on the tank and try to swing my leg over the bag. It looked retarded Im sure.
Any vertical challenged rider has this same problem? Just want to share my experience.
