ok, cbr's have plenty of leg room, but where to put yr luggage? im sick of carrying a backpack, need some sugestions on a rack or panniers, would love the orginal clipon's but they would cost 1000 camels?

 

I have a set ofNelson Rigg Sphere soft saddlebags that work pretty good. They are expandable, go on the bike pretty easily, and have hard outer panels so they look ok on the bike even when empty. Best of all, perhaps, is that they are being closed out and these guys have the all black bags for sale at only $50 plus shipping- http://accwhse.com/nelson_r.htm

I have a pair of Rapid Transit bags that I bought for my New England Trip and they worked fine except for the fact that the buckles are covered up and are a tight squeeze to latch. I fit 4 days worth of clothes in one bag and an all weather Kilamanjaro jacket in the other bag.

If I need more room, I have a duffle bag that I can lash across the two bags quite nicely

nice1 mate, can i just ask which yr yr 1000's is havnt seen one like that, tail light looks late model

 

Looks like a 93- model as the front blinkers are level with the logo (like on my bike)

 

yeah could be i think yr right, nice bike btw malbojah, i will have a think about the luggage, i dont plan to much on touring just carrying wet weathers and stuff, maybe a net and bag on back would be ok for starters, narrow traffic pathes between cars in london eats panniers

 

JB, the bikes a 95, and it came (to me) that way- painted yellow with the rear fender chopped off and replaced with a fender eliminatorwith under tail turn signals.

 

That looks dam nice man!!! Take a better picture and lets see how it was done so we can make a plan!!

 

Ihave a Nelson-Rigg CL350 magnetic tank bag. It's my first luggage purchase and I love it. It expands to it can hold a full face helmet. It's not uncomfortable (for me at least...im 6'1) when it's on the tank, you just lean right over it. The magnets are REALLY REALLY powerful and DO NOT slide at all even when cornering. It has a tun of cool features. Take a look at the links below.

Note: I wasabout to buy the Icon Urban Tank Bag b/c it looks great, but then i read some not so good reviews and decided to go w/ the Nelson-Rigg. The best price I found on the net, with shipping, was at Tonker.

 

Hello,

What year is your bike? I have an 1988 1000 do you think it would work for me?

Thank you
