KEMIMOTO Motorcycle Tail Bag With Waterproof Cover

This bag was exactly what I was looking for to go on the rear rack of my G310GS. It’s a nice square shape and looks just right on the bike.

It is big enough to carry my laptop and my lunch for the work commutes, and expands to enough capacity for a weekend camping trip or grocery run. Even when it’s empty, it keeps it’s shape with semi-rigid panels throughout.

I love that the bag has some added features that may help with the durability over time. The buckle straps on the bag itself isn’t just sewn on, but there are actual buttons that hold them in place. The zippers themselves all look pretty heavy duty. I’ve had tail bags before where the under side of the zipper got bent from opening and closing the bag resulting in them falling off altogether. The zippers on the Kemimoto bag looks to be quite strong so I hope they don’t have the same issue as the other bags I’ve tried.

The bag attaches very easily especially if you have a rear rack or an exposed frame under the seat. It can also be mounted by running the straps under the seat. It’s hard for me to imagine a scenario where this bag would be unable to properly mount to. Although it came with mounting instructions, you don’t really need it.

Also, I didn’t think much of the side outside zipper pocket when making the purchase, but I find I use it often once I have the bag. It makes it so much more convenience to carry small items like a helmet lock (my bike doesn’t come with helmet locks so I have a combination carabiner-style helmet lock), garage door opener, or other small items that you need quick and easy access to.

Overall, I’m completely satisfied with the price, design, and functionality of the Kemimoto bag.

UPDATE: 10/05/2020 – After having this bag on the G310GS since purchase (I just leave it on and never take it off), the bag is holding up great! I’ve done about 4K miles with the bag!

Bag is sturdy and roomy. It was easy to attach to the luggage rack. However, the luggage rack is much more narrow than the bag, so the bag tended to be unstable. I made a shelf from 1/8 inch thick rigid plastic that stabilized the bag nicely.

The straps are easily disconnected from the bag, and the handle on the end makes making it portable. The low bag height makes throwing a leg over easy. Looks good and functions great.

I purchased this bag to put on the bike so I have somewhere to store my helmet and jacket out of sight.
When not expanded the bag holds my winter jacket but not much else,
When expanded it holds my full face helmet and summer jacket, I have a lock to secure the helmet to the bike and winter is not very long or severe here in Australia.
I installed a bit of plywood under the back to give the bag some support and with a bit of velcro between the bottom of the bag and the plywood base there is little or no sideways movement of the bag.
Quality of the bag looks good.

Recently I purchased the Kemimoto Tour Pack Rack Bag and was so impressed with the quality and design that I decided to purchase their Tour Pack Liner, their Saddlebag Liners and their Motorcycle Tail Bag as well.
None have disappointed me as far as quality and design goes they are all extremely well thought out and manufactured!
I am planning a Cross Canada and Return Tour this summer on my 2019 Ultra Limited which will most likely be an 18,000+ Kilometre trip.
This will be a long and grueling trip and a truly tough test of all the Kemimoto products.
(I plan on updating my review on how well this equipment stood up to the day to day abuse when I return.)

Easy to attach to your bike, easy to take off when you get to work, lots of room for lunch, jacket and can expand to fit you helmet.

For all those Kawasaki Vulcan riders out there, if you didn’t want to spend 900 $ for some saddle bags to carry simple everyday commuting items, charger, raincoat and occasion food items, this is your answer.
Very study and clean. Large compartment to store your items and with the included rain cover , is virtually waterproof.
Easy to install with plenty of options with or without the included straps. I used the straps attached directly to the bag and the attachments points already there with rear seat and luggage rack. The clips make it easy to take it with you and convert to a back pack (not used) if you want. Unfortunately no easy way to safety secure it to the bike to prevent theft, but again it is fabric so you figure it out. Putting groceries after a quick trip or to have a place to store your helmet to get it off your hands, this is your bag!!!
Only down fall I found is that no matter how you secure it to the bike (under seat or strapped down) the bottom of the bag when you tighten it down forms to the seat or fender. You loose some storage space but hasn’t really been an issue with me. If I needed more space I just unzipped the expander and problem solved.
Love the outside cinch straps to put my gloves in as well or throw my rain jacket on for easy reach.
Also has a small padded zipper compartment as well and helps with comfort while riding.
Valve for the money and use , this is your bag and overall wet happy with after going through several tail and tank bags!!
