Does anyone have side bags such at the Nelson-Rigg ones below with a tail tidy and have no fitment issues? These combined with their Lite tail bag would make for a nice setup although I wish the rain covers were built-in.

I have Hepco Becker hard bags with a tail tidy. Had to mount TST low profile LED rear turn signals to the side of the plate to clear the bags.

Those bags look nice but I will comment they are tiny. My Hepco bags are 21L and are really small.

Just be sure to measure the distance between your passenger pegs/mounts, and your repositioned rear signals, and ensure the bags you are planning to purchase will fit this reduced space. I noticed that a lot of the available bags and also currently available bag/pannier mounts were just not designed for use with a tail tidy, or at least the bikes pictured with these had the extended OEM tail light mounting.

I run the Mustard Bikes tail tidy, which is probably similar to others, but am also using MotoGear bags which just fit the space between my rear pegs and the newly positioned signals.

I don't need them to be large. I've packed for an overnight with just a tail bag. I'd like to be able to carry a fuel bottle/bag and whatever I end up buying on my adventures. I can fit a to-go box in my tailbag. I'm not doing multi-day touring so tons of space isn't' needed.
