Found some old bags in the bike shed that never worked out with my other bikes. Moto Centric is the brand and pretty good size for a weekend. [Image: 0b4ff43ebf1937899f39f815b3c1a674.jpg]
Funny thing still had the tags on them as well.

Kind of hard to see in that pic..plus I'm distracted by the awesome background!

How about a close up pic of the bags?
On a side note, it's amazing how just the change to bar ends, alters the profile of this bike.

This is a bit better view of the bags along with the a55 ugly Shad 29 top case. Function over form as I bought the Shad case on sale and never put it on my bike as it was so fugly.
Just returned from one of the best rides of my life, four hours of curvy mountain, copless, scenic, minimal traffic, slightly overcast and cool roads life is good! Any of you guys figured out yet the CB has a super sweet spot right about 5500rpm all the way to 8000! Of course one of the bad tempered locals was hanging on the lawn right next to my CB so I had to ask him to move before starting up the bike.

Sounds like a perfect day. Wow, those bags are bigger than they looked in the first pic. I don't think the top case looks that bad.

I sooo wish there were moose running in my yard! I only have whitetails, turkeys and coyotes. I want bear, hogs, elk, antelope and moose too! Lol

Do these bags make my butt look big?

Yea, they don't look that wide from the back. Do you like them mounted over or under the seat?

Under would probably be better option but I was in a hurry family had already left for cabin several hours earlier and the longer I took the deeper I got. That said they have been on all weekend and haven't moved at all.

Ive never tried bags under. May have to do that as an experiment.

Hey Ferret, is that the original muffler on your bike?
