Particularly interested in Cortechs. Let me know what ya got w/ photo.

 

hi

 

Thanks, but looking for soft saddlebags for way less $$.

 

I bought the whole Silver Streak set from Nelson-Rigg. I had to because of the high mounts in back. Nonetheless, the Mini-Saddles are huge! I bought the Tank Bag and the Rear Roll Pack too.

I can put about $30 in groceries in the tank bag - including a 6-pk of tall-boys. I don't remember but this bag is about as big as I would want to go. Fully extended you only have about an inch or two between the bag and your arms. Their part number is ssc-120.

The set from Cortech is probably top notch - I own jackets from them and I like their quality. They just won't work with high mounts and they're pretty specific about that in most of their ads. +1 for being avail in red.

I have never mounted the whole set on the bike so I have no pictures. I had the chance to buy the set at absolute invoice from the wholesaler so I sprung for it.

The set as I have it is about $400 from the usual sources. When I was younger I did some micro-camping. If I packed well, I could have clean clothes and food for a week if I loaded everything. I would have to stop for liquids.

Not for me - for the Bird!

 

I have the Cortech sport tail bag (black, mounted on a neat rack made by Cornand on this Forum) and a nice tank bag from them that I use when touring. Just got the bike in February and am planning a weekend trip with some other Hawks in late July, for which I will need more luggage space. +, the saddlebags from Cortech work with the tail bag. I use the tail bag to carry my briefcase when I take the bike to work and wet weather clothes for our "if you don't like the weather, wait a minute" state of things in NE.

My bke has de-baffled stock pipes, and if I bought after-market pipes I'd look for them to be in the same location, because of what the alternative does to your ability to carry anything.
