Do you mind saying (linking) where you bought them and total price including mounts?
Also, were you thinking about getting the tail or tank bag?

Thanks

I got them at motomachines (http://www.motomachines.com/CB-1100_c_316.html); although I was looking at the UK distributor of Hepco-Becker as well since they were cheaper. Seems like US pricing is the same regardless of where you buy stuff. Cost was about $460 including the $20 for shipping. Shipping is free at $500 but I couldn't find anything I wanted for around $40. I'm not sure about tank or tail bag; although I do like a tank bag as they can be very convenient to hold a GPS, water, odds and ends. Hey, I got the panniers, you need to figure out the tank bag Big Grin

Well... as I posted in another thread, I got the Corbin seat earlier that day. It was a very tight fit. The first step on the luggage mounts was to remove the seat. After struggling for a bit I said to myself 'I don't need to remove no stinking seat' Step 2 was to remove the handrails...no problem, then the blinkers. Hmm, I started full disassembly since the wire runs through the handrails hoping there was a connection in the blinker. I got to the point where I would have to cut wires when I decided to go back to step one and after a bit of prying and a lot of cussing, I removed the seat. From there you have to simply trace the wire and unclip it so you can feed it back out. The c-bow mounts include the brackets and hardware for the light relocation so it was very easy. The hardest part is snaking the wire back as there is very little slack left. I thought about doing something clever to reroute and gain some more slack, but as I thought about it, I realized I was being stupid. Unlike wires to your handlebars, both the end at the wiring harness and the end at the blinkers are stationary, There is no movement beyond a fraction of an inch if you bend the blinkers back. In fact, you really don't want much slack. So while the first one took a bit of time, I did the second in under five minutes. More info than you probably wanted to know
