saddle bags / hard bags

[Inhouse Bob]

My new bags, from Hepco & Becker.
They are the "Junior 30" liter cases, the smallest they make.
The easy-off racks come off in 10 seconds with an allen wrench, and will take all of the different cases made by HB.
I chose these for the size and how they balanced with the lines of the bike.
The cases have two locks and the cases lock to the frame.
They leave plenty of leg room for a passenger.
I believe I can add my Honda tail rack but so far as I can see, I'll need to do some grinding on the rack. I'll post up when I have given it a try.
They required moving the tail lights See the photo from behind), but they came with all the needed hardware. It took me 4 hours or so to do the whole install, though I could do it in 1.5 now that I know the routine. You could likely do it in 45 minutes
Bottom line... very well designed and nice fit/finish. I think they look good on the bike and will let me travel with my stuff. Price was a big bite, but I hope to justify it with lots of miles traveled.
I got them from Moto Machines in Sterling, VA.
