RE: The right size saddlebags

By the time some of us get up in age, either our skin thickens or we'll be an angry a lot forever. Fortunately, the later is more rare. One knows their value and doesn't need to toot it or get bothered by those that try and put ink on the page. BTW, I have yet to feel anyone post a slight to anyone on this forum, lest they are make an intentional known jest in fun. Having been on for a month, it is a major factor in staying along with ALL of the GREAT advice from fellow 1100s. I think it follows along with the personalities of an individual that a CB1100 would appeal to. Again, a great bunch of individuals on this forum - worldwide.

Off to Turkey time.

Looks good! How did you relocate the turn signals?

No need to relocate the turn signals. I wanted to try them because of that.
And the quality is not bad at all (I was expecting cheaper construction/materials).

Look good, and at that price they are a no brainer. Bet you can't wait to give them a good test. Loading my bags always makes me happy. It means I'm headed someplace cool.

Nice find & share, first set that do not appear to be in your face.

You are absolutely right! This weekend should reach 50F so that may "force" me to use them... Rolleyes

Thanks HD. They fit so well that I just couldn't get my mind around the signals NOT being relocated.

they look great.
i too thought that the turn signals were moved.
i am interested in the mounting.
there are alot of straps, not sure which is for what and if the saddlebags connect to the tail bag at all.
could you post a pic of the saddlebags mounted by themselves?
do the straps fit under the seat as well?

TIA
