Review:
I love this tail bag. It's a little wide for the Hawk's body design, but I don't mind. The red is a close match (not perfect). I typically carry my Nikon D2x DSLR camera, one or two lenses, a zip out layer from my North Face jacket, my clear helmet visor, etc. It has one large compartment with a nice clippable strap. It also has two zippered compartments on the top portion of the hard polycarbonate shell inside. This has been great for longer rides, especially where I go out with the sun up and get back later at night. It's great for weekend storage down the shore which I will be testing this weekend heading to Jersey.

You need to make sure you have the front velcro straps in there nice and tight. This will assure no rearward movement (don't want to block the brake light). There's a third and forth velcro strap in the rear that strap to one another under the tail. This doesn't always stay in place through-out daily use of zippering/unzippering the bag. But it's never been a huge pain.

It also has a nifty reflective strip across the back for more visibility. And has straps to be slung over your shoulder as well. Also includes netting to attach to the top for additional storage!

I'll grab more photos of the interior and such when I get some warm/sunny weather and time!

I love the Joe Rocket bag. It's tiny though on my VFR. The Axio bag rocks now - it works pretty well, but I usually ride +1, so it's rare I ever use it.
