Hey, I'm thinking about getting this bag.
Do you think it would fit fine on my 2010 250?

I think its probably some of the most storage I'm going to get for the price (around $100). I don't want a tank bag.


Heres another link to what seems to be the exact same bag with a different label slapped on lol:

And heres a pic. Let me know what you guys think!

Hard to say. It will definitely sit fine on the rear seat, the question is if the mounting straps are secure enough and can wrap far enough around the tail to hold it in place.

I think if you were to strap the front straps to the passenger pegs and the rears to the luggage hooks, there wouldn't be any issue at all.

I got the bag and really like the amount of storage it has.
My only complaint is that the solid structure isn't actually solid, its very flimsy.
I tend to strap my backpack on top of this bag when I commute to work (I don't like riding with a backpack on).
I reinforced the walls of the bag from the inside with thin plywood and some acrylic sheets I had lying around.
