I've done 110+ with a tail bag on...... just felt like twisting the wrist... ehh but the bag held on...

that being said... my bags are SHIT. after looking at the quality of the tank bag Eclipse provided for the rally... if I get soft luggage again (probably not considering I'm buying a 800GS) Eclipse will be it.

Word to Bag man... I haven't seen your rain protection for the bags... but a couple words of advice... make them with some thought behind it... not as an after thought throw on like my cortech ones... Reinforce the seams... that's where they'll tear... and make some sort of strap or clip to make sure that if they come off... that they don't go fly'n down the fuck'n road... Mine are completely seprate so I have to tie the cinch strap as a security measure... other bags I've seen are attached perminantly with a elastic strap... not a bad method IMO.
