...if you have a little money you might consider an Eclipse Rumble Pack tail bag. It's 12x11x7" high (expandable to 12") and fits nicely on the rear portion of the 250 seat. It has an adjustable bungee cord attach system and the four hooks fit perfectly on the 250 bike hooks. Costs about $65.

Eclipse makes another nice one called The Fast Pack, and Tour Master, Ocelot and Lockhart make some good ones too.

Of course, there are many variations on this theme. The bag below was found at Wal-Mart for about 10 bucks. It's a fishing tackle bag, brand name "Okeechobee Fats" (so don't go looking in the automotive section). It has six major storage areas, including an inside pocket (great for map storage). There is a mesh pocket on the outside that may be good for rain gear. It offers good flexibility for the price.

The bag looks to be made well and semi-waterproof. It comes in various colors. You can attach it to your bike using the same method as the soft-sided cooler (above).
