I just bought a new 2006 Suzuki C50 and I want to put a tail bag on it for hauling stuff back and forth to work and picking up small things at the store and lunch and lil things like that. I don't want to wear a back pack so I'm looking at tail bags. Does anybody have a good recommendation?

I have always used tailpacks, the current one is an expandable one made by Eclipse, I think. Expandable is nice, because obviously, it can go from quite compact to holding tools, tire repair kit, and even a full jacket liner. Ought to work for groceries, but only consumables I've ever used mine for are a couple bottles of vodka.
If you get one, buy some seat hooks from Dennis kirk and some camper shell gasket material to protect your seat from the elastic hold-down cord. And, that perforated flat non-slip material sold in variety stores and RV centers for shelves helps to keep the pack in place, too.

Thanks for the input. I'll check their website out and keep ya posted. I sell neoprene so I'll use that as a protective liner. I've got a few saddlebag companies using neoprene now for some of their products.
