The right size saddlebags

[4 Paws_imp]

What scenario needs four of the large? - The one you didn't plan for!!

I still carry a roll of dental floss for emergency lashing - bad habit of either forgetting I'm riding or thinking I can make it fit! Love the straps, much better than bungies or nets.

Check out your local outdoors shops and also the canoe/kayak places - lots of dry bag options and clever ideas that are on closeout now plus you can do the sizing there. I got some at army surplus store. My rain suit lives in a dry bag map case with 4 built in lash points - $3.

Adv rider forum has a flea market section and goodwill has an online store with great stuff.

How are these holding up for you?? I really like the fact they can be mounted under the seat....and clear the exhaust...

they look great.
i too thought that the turn signals were moved.
i am interested in the mounting.
there are alot of straps, not sure which is for what and if the saddlebags connect to the tail bag at all.
could you post a pic of the saddlebags mounted by themselves?
do the straps fit under the seat as well?

TIA

Tail bag comes with 4 connecting points, either to the 4 straps supplied (2x 32" and 2x 28") or to the top of the saddlebags. Tail bag has a rubberized bottom to avoid sliding over the seat.



Each side of the saddlebags has 2 straps on the top and 2 male connecting points to the tail bag.



And it is possible to mount the saddlebags under the seat and still attach the tail bag to them:






And all bags come with a yellow rain cover as well.
And you can mount them a little lower to avoid touching the turn lights.

I have the same bags (still haven't figured out how to compress a pic so I can post it). I just figured out that you can mount them under the seat if you don't like sitting on the cross strap. That way all of the seat is in view. I don't think a passenger could reach rear pegs with them on though.

A-man, do you use Photobucket? Its easy to post pics if you do.

That's the only one I know how to use. Ferret and Cormanus taught me how.

I just received a pair of [url=http://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/ogio-saddlebags]THESE. Make the perfect combo with my tail bag of the same make. Now I have enough storage for my next week long trip to THE RALLY.
