Hey man. Thanks for this video. I ordered mine off Amazon up here in Canada. $25. It’s like a 20L pack. One of the best DIYs I’ve done to my bike and I’ve done a lot. Cheers brother!
Thank you for posting this. I bought a backpack a few weeks ago (used $5) for added storage for trips to the store and work. I was ok with wearing it on my back when needed. Saw you video and and hour or so that evening had a great looking sissy bar bag. Thanks so much and keep posting!
Just bought a bike after about 15 years of not riding and looking at storage found this. The first thing that popped into my head: Nice CVMA beanie! Going to check out a meeting soon myself after an old Battalion buddy of mine suggested it. Thanks for the video!
Would some kind soul throw a link to a pack you bought and got this setup working? Seemed to be quite a few on Amazon that were similar but not the same wrt the bladder/strap setup. Thanks.
Exactly, improvise and overcome. Made it work and it looks tight. Saved money too. Thanks for the video. I'm all about saving money on stuff. Then when I want a Steak dinner out, Bam, I got the cheese to do it.
Military surplus bags make for the best sissybar bags. A little mod here and there, and you've got something that'll outlast the other name brands out there.
Awesome idea thanks for sharing. I've been trying to figure out a solution for my wide glide for 2 up rides with gear. I've tried a few different packs and nothing seemed to work out how I wanted. This is perfect for what I already have.
It's good to see you post up another video, I just took delivery of my fat bob this week I got through military auto sales. The heat wrap looks great on your bike and your video does have me thinking now.
Maybe 8 years ago I did this, but with an old tank bag. Instead of a water bladder, it had a pocket that held backpack straps. I split the bottom and sewed the edges. Slipped right over the sissy bar
Could instead make a pvc frame to fit into the water bladder slot to create stability and not have to compromise the bag. Cool idea thought 💭 looks solid.
Literally just got this bag today and was looking for ideas. Thanks for posting this! What bungee cords did you use on the bottom? I have a 6-pack rack too.
I have the same pack! But mine is black. I'm going to ride the dragons tail next month with some buddies and this is the perfect solution for me! Thanks my dude!
Nice video! I have been looking for a cheap way to add a bag on my bike. Having said that I don’t like bags on my style Of bike really. However been many times I could use one. What you did is give me an idea for modifying a backpack to just go over my backrest, with no luggage rack. I hope it when I get it done it’s secure without a luggage rack. Thank You for putting this idea into my head
Are you still with the CVMA? I was looking at sissy bar bags and had been thinking about turning a backpack into a sissy bar bag for my trip to this years Nationals event in June. Great video by the way, inspiring 🤓👍🏻🇺🇸
Nah, good video and good add-on. I'll sometimes strap my backpack to the rear depending on the situation. This, though, has definitely got me thinking about a more permanent addition. Stay cool, man.
I have to say this - I'm trying to pay attention because this is great but I am stunned by your handsome handsome good looks!!! I had to say it. Back to business I have been pricing sissy bars and backpacks etc and this is great. Now I'll try to pay more attention. I have a Dyna FXDB. :)
Hmmm I have a backpack that’s similar to that one and the sissy bar pack I was gifted isn’t fitting how I want it to , I might go this route as well thanks brother !

What’s the name of the pack please.
Shit bro you just saved me a chunk of change I have a bag much like that. I'm going to work on this tomorrow. Thanks
Would some kind soul throw a link to a pack you bought and got this setup working? Seemed to be quite a few on Amazon that were similar but not the same wrt the bladder/strap setup. Thanks.
It's called a SOG back pack
Or something similar

What is the brand name of the pack you used? Thanks

Congrats on the new ride. Now the fun begins, making it your own.
Dude - Just I ordered a bike through Military Auto Source!
How do you carry it when off the bike ? You can't leave anything in it if you are not with the bike !
Maybe 8 years ago I did this, but with an old tank bag. Instead of a water bladder, it had a pocket that held backpack straps. I split the bottom and sewed the edges. Slipped right over the sissy bar
Been considering doing this to my tactical bag. It has removable straps and d rings. Have a sissy bar/ backrest but no carrier which would be useful.
Great share. My favorite moment was 4:19 - "Up / Under here!?" lol Thanks again, AGA!

great use of an old backpack, I'm sure I have one kicking around
Damn good idea ..Got tactical 5.11 72hr bag not using...Thnks for heads up..
NUT Nut noooo don’t kill a rush 72 for this!!
Literally just got this bag today and was looking for ideas. Thanks for posting this! What bungee cords did you use on the bottom? I have a 6-pack rack too.
We're you able to melt the mesh you cut for the sissy bar pocket, to prevent it from tearing?
Good Idea better than the $300 tank/sissybar bags most companies are raping us riders.
Thank you for sharing this great idea. Well made video also. Congrats on your achievement and thanks for sharing.

Thanks Brother for the video. Greeting from 22-5.
Love your bike thanks for sharing brother !
My sissy doesn't have a rack. Just fender. Maybe I can still make it work....?
Works for me . Been thinking about taking old back pack my son used in school and doing this . 2008 fat bob
Are you still with the CVMA? I was looking at sissy bar bags and had been thinking about turning a backpack into a sissy bar bag for my trip to this years Nationals event in June. Great video by the way, inspiring 🤓👍🏻🇺🇸
Man!!!! I have that exact same bag!! My weekend is set!!! Thanks for the great idea brother!!!
J.L. Molina do you know what bag it is exactly and where to buy it from?
Nah, good video and good add-on. I'll sometimes strap my backpack to the rear depending on the situation. This, though, has definitely got me thinking about a more permanent addition. Stay cool, man.
Cool... Found your vid because I've been thinking along the same lines. Thanx!
Thank you!! I had to leave stuff behind because I didn’t have an actual bike bag! Not good for a girl not to have her stuff lol now I will!! 😊
Nice stocking cap! Great ideas!
About to do this when I get my bar in. Thanks dude! I have the maxpedition version of this bag.
I have to say this - I'm trying to pay attention because this is great but I am stunned by your handsome handsome good looks!!! I had to say it. Back to business I have been pricing sissy bars and backpacks etc and this is great. Now I'll try to pay more attention. I have a Dyna FXDB. :)
Good idea. Harley ones are especially expensive.
How has this held up?
I was thinking of doing the same with with an old Alice pack with the metal frame
Beautiful bike brother
Hmmm I have a backpack that’s similar to that one and the sissy bar pack I was gifted isn’t fitting how I want it to , I might go this route as well thanks brother !
Love it, I am cheap bastard and this is perfect.

Check this guy out, does great work. I have one on my Fat Bob. www.etsy.com/shop/EdwardRichie?ref=simple-shop-header-name
Smart man you don't have to spend extra money
Bro spends 60% of video waffling about what he’s done instead of showing 🙄
Thanks for sharing 😊
