FAQs

What is the capacity of the Trails End Lite Tail Bag?

The bag has a capacity of 5.5 Liters, with main compartment dimensions of 9.75” L x 8.5” W x 4” H (25 cm x 21.5 cm x 10 cm).

Is this bag suitable for long-distance touring?

While excellent for day trips or shorter excursions, its 5.5-liter capacity may be insufficient for extensive gear required on long-distance touring trips.

How does the rigid construction benefit the user?

The rigid construction allows the bag to maintain its shape even when empty, making it easier to pack, access items, and ensuring it looks neat on the motorcycle.

Can I attach additional items to the bag?

Yes, the bag features a MOLLE panel on the lid, which allows you to strap down additional items using compatible straps or accessories.

What is the warranty on this product?

Nelson-Rigg offers a Lifetime Warranty on their products, covering defects in materials and workmanship.

Are the zippers completely waterproof?

The zippers are water-resistant, designed to keep dust and dirt out. For heavy rain, it is recommended to use internal dry bags for sensitive items.

How do I clean and maintain the bag?

Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals. Ensure zippers are clean and lubricated for best performance.

Troubleshooting

Bag does not hold its shape.

Ensure the internal securing straps are tightened appropriately. The rigid construction is designed to maintain shape, but very light loads might require minor adjustment of internal straps.

Zippers are stiff or difficult to close.

Check zippers for dirt or debris and clean them with a soft brush or damp cloth. Apply a silicone-based lubricant specifically designed for zippers if necessary.

Mounting straps are slipping.

Ensure the straps are routed correctly around a secure point on your motorcycle and tightened firmly. Consider using additional non-slip material between the bag and the mounting surface if needed.

Contents are getting wet in heavy rain.

While the zippers are water-resistant, they are not fully waterproof. For extended exposure to heavy rain, consider using a dry bag inside the tail bag for critical items.

Pros and Cons

  • Water-resistant and lockable zippers provide security and protection.
  • Internal straps effectively secure contents during transit.
  • Compact size ideal for smaller motorcycles and lighter loads.
  • Backed by a lifetime warranty for peace of mind.

Cons

  • Limited 5.5-liter capacity may not be sufficient for extensive gear.
  • While water-resistant, zippers may not be fully waterproof in heavy rain.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Trails End Lite Tail Bag is designed for straightforward mounting. Use the integrated heavy-duty webbing and buckles to secure the bag to your motorcycle's rear rack or seat. Ensure the straps are tightened evenly for a stable fit. The MOLLE panel on the lid can be used with compatible straps or accessories for additional external storage.

Compatibility: This tail bag is ideal for most dual-sport and enduro motorcycles due to its compact size (9.75” L x 8.5” W x 4” H / 25 cm x 21.5 cm x 10 cm). It is designed to fit on various rack systems or directly onto seats.

Care: To maintain the bag's condition, clean it regularly with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure zippers are free of debris for smooth operation. Periodically check the mounting straps for wear and tear.
