Eventually I found the Gears Navigator tail bag, which is almost identical but at under $100CAD a much more cost effective solution. Not sure who copied who, but the Gears bag is great. I'm on my third sports bike since I bought the bag and I love it. Since then, a third player has released yet another almost identical bag, the AK Companion Cargo Tail Bag 50 L.
Anyway, the point of this post is to point out something I stumbled on today, an Australian eBay seller with the Gears bag running out at under half what I paid for mine.

I am not affiliated with the seller in any way, but $50 for a good tail bag is worth mentioning.
