One of the main drawbacks of the motorcycle is the lack of cargo capacity. A tailpack is the solution. Strap it onto the pillion perch and your goods and chattels are secure, out of the way and aren’t going to smack into you if something does go wrong. One problem; a lot of tailpacks are secured by bungee – which isn’t always stable and can come undone.
The Moto-Detail tailpack is the answer. It is held onto the bike via clips, which are attached to straps that slide under the saddle. Fitting is a doddle. Just remove the saddle, slide the straps underneath, put the saddle back in place, clip the tailpack onto the straps and tighten. Well, we think this is the plan, as the instructions come in German (we tried to Babelfish some of the instructions; take it from me, don’t bother). There were also some spare/leftover clips. We have no idea if they are spares, some kind of extender or a way of clipping an additional tailpack in place. So we left them off as they didn’t seem to be needed.

This is a well-designed tailpack. It is pleasingly stable, the underseat straps and clips mean I have 100% confidence that it will stay in place and it can be used for a range of jobs.
