Default Kermit Chair - Will it fit?

Will the Kermit Chair fit in a hard saddle bag? Anyone have one?

Interesting that you asked this.

I have been thinking the same thing, someone need to make chairs that will be small enough, strong enough, light enough, for the motorcyclist. If they are avalible I have not seen any others, but the Kermit chair look like it might work.

I will be watching this post!

I don't own one, but the guy selling them at a rally said they would "fit easily" in a HD hard bag.. Of course he was selling them! LOL I sat in a demo he had set up, and they are comfortable.

I have a couple of these. http://www.bluemaxinc.com/

They fit in the saddlebag no problem. They are OK at best to sit in for a long time but 1/3 the price of the Kermit. The back is low and the legs tend to want to come apart if you lean back or move the chair. I do not beleive the Kermit will fit in a saddlebag but I do have some bungee cords. When I get up some extra cash Kermit is my choice.

After reading this post, I walked out and tried my Kermit chair in my bags. The chair does fit, but takes up alot of room. If you get a Kermit chair, I recomend that you get the leg extentions also. I'm 6'4 and after a bottle of rum, it's hard to get out of it without them.

I own two Kermit chairs. We strap them to the saddlebag guards. We go camping on the Ultra so I cannot afford giving up the room in the saddlebags.

No problem for me then I don't drink rum. You think I'll have a problem getting up after a bottle of Jack D.?

I'm not sure about that. Guess I'm really not sure why anyone would drink that..
