Default What's a really big tankbag?

I want to get the biggest one possible, and put a big pillow in it so I can lay on it on longer trips. Riding naked on the freeway is fun....but trying to hold myself up sucks (I'm a big guy, so I can't get down all the way to the tank).

Thanks

Eclipse makes some really big ones that are like 18" tall when fully extended.

Depends on the layout of the bike really. But those really big tank bags are overkill imo anyways.

Just duct tape the pillow to yourself. $100 saved.

the Icon Urban tankbag is pretty big.. backpack sized. I'm not sure how big you're looking for though

Do you really want to lay on a pillow while riding a motorcycle?
