Soft saddlebag Stays/Mounts

[dennylee11_imp]

I need to order a set of stays for my CB. Has anyone ordered a set from webike in Japan? Part numbers? Price? Do they fit with stock Honda rear rack?

I am currently working on this issue myself. If you can wait to do anything for a bit I can be the guinea pig. I have a rear rack on order and some cortec saddlebags and tail bag. I've been trying to avoid ordering from Japan if I can help it. Saddleman and Cobra have a universal stay bar for the saddlebags in the US, and my biggest concern will be having to move the rear turn signals to make room for the bags. My Honda people are pretty confident we can improvise and move the turn signals without having to go to Webike. I'm in Cincinnati so if you can wait a but I can let you know how it goes.

Sure - just let me what you come up with.

I will curiously await also your being the guinea pig!

I have received almost everything to begin the process of adding stay bars, bags, etc etc to my bike. I should be able to provide some information sometime this weekend for those awaiting a response from me.

Guys I too am ordering the kit from Japan - I have the rear luggage rack on my bike with saddlebag stay bars, but it required customization to make it work. The rear turn signals have not been moved yet. So my saddle bags are not usable at this time. I had to have Honda use my Willie & Max stay bars pieces as spacers for the luggage rack in place of the ones which came with the rack, and still they needed to be grinded down to make things work. So I'm going to buy the kit from Japan to see if its workable without all kinds of modifications.

I ordered a "yet to be advertised but soon to be shipped to the States in September " set from SW-Moto (through Twisted Throttle) yesterday. About $300 and adapters are going to be available for most of the major brands of hardbags - if you want to go that way in the future. My big question to the company - yet to be answered - are they compatible with the Honda OEM rear rack? If not, I will cancel my order. If interested I can send you the link the company sent me.

I can't wait to find out if stays will work with the rack. Been wondering since I got the bike.

I have the Giant Loop, and the Ortlieb waterproof saddlebags. Bright yellow naturally, mainly for use on my dual sport (and pressed into service on the Griso) that I need to test fit on the CB. I won't. Be accused of touring style, but will save me a boat load of money if they fit. still, lockable bags are nice and I miss them.

Samurider got back with me today regarding there stay bar and winker relocation kit. I asked them if there stay bars would work with the Honda Rack; Their reply today was no.

I got word back from Twisted Throttle today about the SW-Moto saddle bag mounts. They are a NO GO with OEM Honda rear racks. Back to square one boys.

GREAT ART! THANKS FOR SHARING! Could we get you to unlock your caps? It appears that you're yelling (which may be useful in person but less necessary while on line).

 

[the Ferret]

Glad you got it figured out Art

 

[the Ferret]

Art it looks like you have little bullet lights mounted as turn signals bolted where your rear reflectors were? Was that done by the dealrship?

 

[ART_imp]

Yes. It's not hard they just had to drill the hole bigger where the reflector had been.
