I have JoeRocket sport saddle bags, and I paid $135. I wish I was able to find hard saddle bags.

Nope, I hate caps, am 25yo and have short red hair.

I stole that picture from Bikepics.com , my bike is the same colour but not as pristine (110,000km young)

I thought about editing it for the fellas privacy but I figure this is the internet... if you didn't want to see your pictures being admired by others, you wouldn't be posting them.

I've been contemplating some sort of small hard bag for mine, since there is no room to store anything in the stock bike. Maybe pop rivet something into the front fairing (out of sight).

There is a photo of me looking pleased as punch in one of my first posts after I bought the CBR if you care

ps please people, learn to use the image link... it makes reading threads so much nicer!

 

Ok, was just wondering because I know that guy in the picture and it found it a bit strange... No sweat
He is a dane BTW

 

Hi guys, reading with interest about the hard luggage, i have just returned from a tour of France using givi, unfortunatley on the way down the motorway to the ferry one of my side givi boxes burst open, 50 mile return trip to collect said clothes from the fast lane, the police where there when i got there folding my trousers up. After explaining what happened and showing him the burst lock he decided he was going to book me for dangerous driving, Dead bodies all over the motorway he explained, thats what police controll had told him to expect, anyway after producing my documents and having a chat ( shake hands before i left ) i carried on to the ferry to france. My wife phones me three days later "chris whats these letters from the thames valley police". Anyway he had recommended that no further action be taken, if i had been stroppy with him he would have prosecuted me. Bit long winded i know but it's all true, missed ferry anyway. Been writing that long i forgot what i was going to say, oh yes sod givvi they just arn't aerodynamic, good holiday but i would look for better hard luggage the next time.[8D]

 

I am still looking and can't find anything. I have been looking for a wile.

I have found some at $800 to $1,200, out of my range.

For now the best I can find is;

Use this mount

with this bag,

http://www.hardbags.com/

 

That Krauser mount is great and is far less visible than my Givi wingrack system. Krauser makes great bags. Not sure how you'll mount hardbags.com on a krauser rack .

 

You think you could just attach the vfr bags with bolts and nuts to those Kauser mounts? not sure if the vfr bags are worth what they want anyway...

 

I doubt it. Each bag has special brackets and mounting so you can take take them off easily. You'd probaly would have to permanently
mount them on there. Just get ther Krauser bags, they are said to be the best hardbags out there.

 

But I already own fugly bags, and they were free. No offense intended for anyone who may own these bags.
