Question

What is the best carrying case or side bag set aerodynamically speaking for a Honda 2004 Rebel Motorcycle?

Answer 1

Ok, well, we're talking about a 250cc motorcycle, but if you really want aerodynamics, find bags that were made for sport bikes.  These bags are more clean cut like a sport bike is where cruisers and touring bikes are big and bulky (and hence most bags made for them).

Tank bags are pretty standard, they come in some for of oval or egg shape or are square and are generally low profile.  The saddle bags get get anywhere frmo slanted rectangles to very sleak with nice aerodynamic curves.

Here is an example of a style you may want to look for:

Answer 2

If there were hard sided bags made specifically for the rebel, that would be the best bet.  But there are not so I'll have to use soft luggage.  Two very good brands are Tour Master and Chase Harper.  Here is a link that shows both product lines.

Some models are obviously more streamlined than others, but they also have less carrying capacity.
