Offroad and I traveled out there and rode around riding passes and canyons for a week with forum member LongRanger a couple years ago.

If anyone is interested in a great place to ride you should take WhatYes up on his offer

Oh man, I do NOT envy you riding on those winter roads! That's the drawback here, I have to put the bike away typically for 5 months or so during the winter.

Did you by chance ride the Million Dollar highway that runs from Ouray to Durango? If so you were 30 minutes from me. I ride that road as many times as possible during the summer as a lunchtime run down to Silverton. AMAZING!

And yes, feel free to take me up on the offer, folks. I had 5 riders from Vegas come in to ride this spring, although none were on CBs.

I found them on ebay, bought new, although they are a discontinued model:

TourMaster Select Saddle Bags 600 Denier Carbolex 15 x 11 x 5.5 Saddlebags

But you should still be able to find them. I didn't have to relocate the turn signals to use them. The small tail bag is a Nelson Rigg.

These saddlebags might work also:

Just got 'em off! Man, what a difference. Shoulda done that first thing a year + ago.

LOl that winter road was in June or July can't remember what month we were out there. I think we were coming down from Freemont Pass. It was in the 90's when we got back down off the mountain.

We did not do the million Dollar Highway, we were north of that near Denver.

Here's the thread from our ride. Apparently it was in July 2017
