As the name suggests, these bags are mounted or placed on the tail or rear of the bike that you are riding. When you are riding a Harley then you are definitely going to look forward to accessories that can keep up with the legendary brand, both in terms of looks and performance.
That is why the leather Harley Davidson tail bags from brand Viking Bags are specially made to offer a winning combination of style and functionality. Once you have used one of the best Harley tail bags available on the market, no other brand would do for you. It has been the same for all our users and we are proud to say that more than half our sales are a result of word of mouth publicity. This shows the kind of quality, functionality and even affordability that our users have been enjoying over the years.
Whether you opt for soft or hard Harley Davidson tail bags, both luggage options will provide excellent storage space and touring ease to you. When planning to street race with friends, you need not worry about storing your possessions. A tail bag for Harley motorcycles is all you need to give your belongings a safe place.
When riding with a passenger, you can convert your tail bag as a backrest bag. Backrest bags work with all Harley sissy bars whether you ride a Softail, Sportster, or a Dyna motorcycle. If you want a model-specific Harley Davidson tail bag you can check out our collection. If you already have a tail bag, use it on any Harley cruiser and enjoy a memorable touring experience.
Choosing a tail bag for your Harley-Davidson
Harley riders usually mount a tail bag on a sissy bar or a luggage rack, so fit matters as much as size. We recommend a sissy bar at least 24 inches high for secure mounting, and several listings publish a minimum and maximum strap loop measurement worth checking against your bar.
Size by trip, but compare shape too. The Voyage Elite XL is long and low (24 in. long, 10.5 in. tall), while the Voyage Premium XL is taller (20.5 in.) with a smaller 11 x 10.5 in. opening, so liters alone will not tell you which suits your bike. The Voyage Elite XL and Voyage Premium XL also include a rain cover; other bags here are weather resistant, not waterproof.
Build a complete Harley luggage setup
A tail bag pairs well with other Harley luggage. A Harley sissy bar bag works if you want a bag designed around the bar itself, and Harley saddlebags add side capacity. For quick-access items, add a Harley tank bag, and for a bag you carry off the bike, see our Harley backpacks. If you want a hard-shell option, look at our Harley trunks.
