H&B Orbit Cases and C-Bow

[cbolling_imp]

Anyone use this setup on their CB? I am generally not a fan of side opening cases but they seem to have really good reviews and are readily available. Hard side bags are very hard to find for the CB.

If you were closer, I have a set of the Japan police hard bags that I will probably never use.

 

[cbolling_imp]

Wow, what do those look like?

Those look good on the CB.

Not sure if I remember correctly, but didn't "Chuckk" have a similar configuration? :huh:

That exchange rate conversion in the bottom corner comes out to over $900.

Nope.

Yeah, I think "Chuckk" did - he has some cat that poses from inside the hard side bags for the camera. I think the side bags were clones, and sub $150 (or less) for a pair.

Chuckk's H&B Orbit?? side panniers:

Chuckk or Charlotte needs to chime in.....

So that is cool but what is it attached to? What bracket attaches it to the bike?

Chuckk fabricated his own with Charlotte's help, otherwise it would not be done so nicely

Heh, heh, ... great revival of Chuckk's posting PB.

Charlotte, my old working buddy, moved on.. so I will say, the bags are holding up very well.. they have transported many pounds of pistachios since installed.. the matter of fact, my need to transport pistachios was the reason I went to these bags.. I had originally installed smaller hard bags, but they didn't hold nearly enough of them.. if memory serves me correctly, I paid $65. or $80. for the pair .. I tried to buy a second back-up pair, after seeing how well they worked out.. but at that size and price, there were no more available.. they must have been a close-out .. I bought them on eBay ..
these are my old, narrow bags..

Those look really good. Thanks for the pics.

I don't have the Orbit cases, but I do have the C-bow mounting system.
