RE: Saddle bag recomendation

Here are some nylon ones for a pretty good price, the bid is at $80.00 right now, but...they are for 94-03 XL models and the bid ends in 11 hours from the time of my post. Maybe you can find the same ones for 04 and up.

I hope to buy some this week for my 2006 1200L, and can't make up my mind. I just added a Voyager trike conversion kit so I want as large as possible to fill up the empty space between the rear fender and the trike fenders. These are pretty cool, they are leather but don't have buckles.

These are almost the same style, but I expect the bid will go much higher. ( Currently at $9.95 and they have some minor damage)

I plan on getting two sets, a smaller slant version with conchos and a large set for long trips. Sorry, I can't post the links to those, I don't need any more competition when I bid ...LOL

Wow ! Those would look great on my bike, the trike kit has flared fenders.

But for $1699.00 ? Maybe next year....

And now I want to add this too..

Nice to see that Corbin used the 50th Anniversary edition in the pics as well !

Thanks !

RE: Saddle bag recomendation

Go to Sporttour and look at the Cortech compact sport bags. I bought a set for a (soon to get here) KLR. I tried them on my '07 XL883 for a one day ride, and they work so well that now they are for the sportster only! Pull off the seat, adjust the length, drap over and replace the seat. The profile matches the tank(teardrop) and look pretty good. They are foam lined so they maintain their shape. They come with neopheme(sic) pads to protect the paint, and work very well. Not very traditional, but very fuctional.

Meathead,

Those are exactly what I've been looking for! http://www.sporttour.com/luggage/cor...rtSBColors.jpg
Are those the ones you were referencing?

Last concern I have is do they flap around when your riding or can you get brackets to hold them on with? They're probably so small you don't need brackets but figure'd I would ask. Got a pic of em on your bike?

RE: Saddle bag recomendation

I have a set of the harley rigid leather saddle bags that I would sell. They were used on the bike for less that 1000 miles and look brand new. (They came with the bike when I bought it used.) If you're interested I'd take $450for them.
