Has anyone added these Blaze Panniers ?

My problem is that I am "ascetically challenged"....meaning that if it doesn't look ascetically correct, I challenge it. (I'm the guy who you have over for dinner and I walk around straitening pictures...there is probably an acronym for that). A lot of the CB 1100 appeal for me was its Retro Design, and short of classic spoke wheels, in my eyes, perfect. For my purpose I need to add means to carry my stuff...at least a bottle of wine on the way home (never before or during) and I don't want to muck up this beautiful machine. Thanks to the forum I have seen a lot of mods, more than I could have found on my own, thank you and keep em coming !

If you're not busy this weekend, stop by for dinner.

I'm with you on the difficulty of adding luggage in keeping with the bike's design. So far, the only thing I've seen that comes closest to that goal is the single-sided leather bags available on Samurider: http://www.samurider.com/?p=13325/#itemImage

One of those would serve you nicely if, like you said, you don't have much to carry. Kind of pricey though for a single bag.

Hmmm...now that I look at that photo closer, it appears these bags would require you to relocate your turn signals as well.
