Jo's U-Pac

I bought a duffel bag from Academy Sports for under $20. For shorter trips I use a Sea to Summit Dry Sack.
Below is a picture of my R100GS/PD loaded with a Jo's U-Pak. The U-Pak is waterproof and pretty easy to load. As I recall, this was the medium size bag, which is quite large. It was also pretty easy to secure this to the GS/PD. The biggest downside is that this bag is really too large for most of my trips.
There is another u-shaped bag, called a "rounder" bag that is much larger than the Jo's U-Pak. Below is a picture of a friend's bike with the rounder bag. The rounder bag used to be available from Competition Accessories (about 10 yrs back).
These days I use a set of H2W bags for most of my bike camping trips. Below are pictures of an oilhead RS and Triumph Tiger using a set of H2W bags.

this post reminded me I have one
I have not used it in a least a year
good bag, holds a ton
my advice is use it to pack your soft stuff in and use rok straps to secure it
I bought mine used on advrider some time ago and just don't use it anymore since I got rid of the F650
you can have it for fifty bucks if you want it, pretty sure that is what I paid for it - size medium

I have a Jo's Upack. I wish I bought the Mag's Bags version.

+1 on the Helen2wheels bags and straps. Awesome stuff, and not just for camping. I use my ST for transportation and keep a H2W bag and straps in the right bag all the time.
I used a H2W bag to carry home a new cable box when it wouldn't fit in the side case. I've used it to shop for grocerys, I've used the straps to carry a few golf clubs to the the practice range, real handy stuff.

I have the medium U-pak and love it. It fits perfectly on my airhead, it rides well, keeps things out of site and a very neat look. It's my second, I have worn one out. Well not actually, just upgraded. I have one that was made before Jo took over. The new one has some improvements I wanted and is slightly larger.
Disadvantages... It doesn't fit well on my K1100LT. The rear rack is too high. It is possible to get one that is modified to fit though. I really need to get one of those.

I've had a U-Bag for quite some time now. It only gets used when the "Boss" travels with me. We carry most everything we take in it except for items we might need in a hurry. We're camping at Bloomsburg so it will come in handy once again.

I have been using a medium size for quita a while and strongly recommend getting one. I secure it with rok straps and have never had a problem!
