Tail Packs

[TheManWithThe...]

Hi,
Just wondering if anyone knows/has/recommends any medium sized tail packs (big enough to fit a 1m chain in)
After the recent purchase of an ER5, i now need a means of carrying my almax to college (and around in general if needs be)

Only decent looking thing i can find is the Kriega US10, but am not too keen on paying £50 for one.

Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated
Cheers

I bought a tail pack from Hein Gericke which fits my large 1.5m chain and disc lock.

I'm pretty happy with and its at a decent price too.

It has two straps that go under the seat so its not going anywhere.

US10 afaik is not 50 - and defo less in grand nik on fleabay. I have one, and when need be use it to carry almaz 3 2m - squire 65 padlock, with a bit of room left if ned be.

The weight means strong bungees are the order of the day. Plastic end ones if you ' like ' your paintwork

There's a HG shop not far from me so i might go and have a look at what they have.
Looks like it might be a tad small...my lock is quite think and doesnt roll up too well:P
Could try some cargo netting

You wanna do it on the cheap, easy, nylon bag and bungees inc a net. job done, would have to lift the nylon bag holding the weight . or buy a 10- 20 quid heavy duty nag of sorts

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't the ER5 have a reasonably large under seat storage?
There is a lady who parks next to my fazer occasionally, almost 100% sure it's an ER5 and I've seen her take her lock out from under the seat on numerous occasions.

I can fit a normal thickness 1.5m chain and lock under the seat of my CBR, surely there is room under a commuter seat for a shorter albeit much fatter chain?

I got myself a cheapo tank bag which does exactly this job. Still have 2 other pockets for my phone & wallet too.

Under the seat is about big enough for a phone, wallet, keys, and a sandwich. MAYBE you could cram a chain under there if it isn't too bulky.

I also just got a cheap tank bag from Lidl for about £25 or something. Does the job great - I keep a portable lock in there, along with all sorts of things. Doubles up as a ruck sack too so can lug it around with me

I was thinking about getting a tank bag, but was a bit worried about the chain possibly denting the top of the tank.
I'll have a look around a few places when i get the bike back

I can fit my alarm box, a 1metre chain and a disc lock in the seat of my ZX6. Where as with my old GS, you'd be lucky to get the bloody disc lock!
