Default T pack?????

I own a 2009 Kawasaki VN2000 Classic LT and i am looking for a pack that i can put on the luggage rack and strap it to the back of the passenger backrest. The problem i have the packs i have tried do not have long enough straps to go all the way around that wide backrest and the top strap tend to be a little hi on the packs to catch the shorter backrest. Any ideas?
Thanks

I have a T-Bag "Universal Expandable". The strap that fits around the back rest will adjust and if you let it all the way out, it fits tight. It expands to allow for packing different amounts of items. I also have the roll bag and with the bag expended and the roll bag, wife and I took a 3 day trip with plenty of room needed items.

The only thing i don't like, is when riding double, the bag fits on the luggage rack and the lilttle luggage rack gets lost under the bag. I also

We have this huge bag that has a 6" wide velcro strap to go around the backrest,it will expand enough to fit any bar I've ever seen. And, it is large enough that I can put my laptop in it and have room for 6 pair of jeans and 6 shirts, the wife's electric fan(don't ask) and the "toiletries" bag that she insist we carry. I cannot remember right now what the brand is but I'm thinking it is part of a T bag set, I'll look when I get home

Be sure to check New Enough Hard Parts sells motorcycle parts, accessories, tires, exhaust, luggage, backpacks, motor :: New Enough Motorcycle Hard Parts. YMMV but when I was looking for bike luggage it was by far the best prices I could find.

I have the same bag. It's really great. Very easy to get on and off the bike and carries a LOT of stuff. Since I never carry a passenger, though, I always get to put mine on the passenger seat instead of the rack.

I was wrong, mine is not a Tbag, it is made by Tombstone, it is this one, the velcro is 8 inches wide not 6, and appears to open enough to fit around a backrest 12" or better wide.
