The motorcycle backrest bags not only provide valuable support but can be used to carry light items on long cruises. It is important to keep the bag light, because a heavy load at a high point in the bag can have an adverse effect on low-speed handling.
The features that you need to look at while buying a motorcycle backrest bag are:
1. Mounting systems: Your backrest bag needs to fit snugly on to the bar. So make sure that the bar is neither too tall nor too wide for the bag. Also keep in mind that some bags can be rested on the pillion seat while others need a luggage rack.
2. Rigid vs. soft: It is worth considering whether you would want to have a rigid or a soft bag. Rigid bags have a definite advantage: they fit better and are easier to pack and unpack. You can also put them on the passenger seat and use it as a backrest.
3. Weatherproofing and durability: Most bags have their own waterproof covering. But you should be selective about the weather proofing material. For example, leather may look better but heavy-grade nylon is probably more durable.
4. Capacity: Bigger does not mean better. Loading a big heavy bag on the back of your bike can alter a motorcycle's centre of gravity. This can result in poor handling and even loss of control.
5. Convenience: Most backrest bags now have additional features. There are backpack straps and roller wheels. Make sure that the straps are padded and roller wheels have a low profile.
Some of the popular brands available in the market are:
1. Harley-Davidson Universal Roller Bag: This bag, which is 17.5 inches high, 16 inches wide and 10 inches deep, has the following features:
-- Waterproof Climashield fabric
-- 1.8 cubic foot interior with small pockets and compartments.

2. Kuryakyn Full Dresser Bag: This bag, which is 16 inches wide, 11 inches deep and 28 inches high, has the following features:
-- 2.5 cubic foot capacity
-- 1200-denier Cordura exterior

3. Dowco Rally Pack Universal Luggage System: The important features of this backrest bag which is 17 inches high and 14.5 inches wide are:

-- Cordura nylon exterior
-- 1.5 cubic feet of volume
4. Marsee Products 50-Liter Cruiser Bar Bag: This is a big bag, 22 inches high, 17 inches wide and 8 inches deep. Its notable features are:
