Anyone here fitted after market saddle bags to their bikes. Just wandering how its done as most of them on ebay are universal, so they say, all go under the seat. Any links to where I can buy a set that will fit and do I need make a side bracket to support them. All advise and help appreciated, thankyou.

 

Best option is e-Bay UK

also look at the "Oxford" shop.
I have hard boxes on mine.

 

Thanks Shadow, as usual you are always there, no wonder your called the Shadow mate. Found these through the link you attached and would like to know if anyone has fitted these "Nelson Riggs" to their CBR. The one attached is the SSC-150 deluxe, but not sure if its too big for our bikes. They do make a smaller version, any advice, thanks.

PS Cant get the missus of the back so 2up is usually the norm on long rides so maybe the ssc-150 might get in her way when on the bike?

 

Honda CBR 1000F were sold with genuine factory panniers[well my '92 model was]Black over grey,20 kgs limit.I actualy sold mine on ebay last year to a guy in W.A.

18 litres per side is actually pretty small.........
my bike runs 3x 48 litres !! and my wife can still sit comfortably behind me and she's 5'7" and 130 pounds.
This may give you some idea of the sizes.........
Oxford make bags which expand out to 50-odd litres per size, which I had on my bike, and aren't too big.

 

I have a pair of Nelson Rigg Sphere (I think) bags that work pretty good. They are expandable and hold a fair amount of stuff when expanded. Dom't know if they're made anymore though- they're about 6 years old. As far as running the straps under the seat- I don't think so.
