Default My 01 600 F4i wearing saddle bags












For those of you that are interested in the idea, heres what it could look like. I dont know if I put them on correctly, but it works. I am going on a couple day trip so that is why I got them.
I found them (cyclecase saddlebags) for 70 dollars which is way cheaper then most, I could have gotten black which probably would have looked better, but I elected to go for the High-Visability ones; chose possible safety over looks.
I havent stuffed them full yet, but pushed down on the inside and there wasnt much sagging. After my weekend trip I will inform anyone who is interested on how the performance of the bags are.

Sport bike saddle bags work great on the F4i. I haven't made much use of mine, but they were very handy when I did.

I like the color of yours, though. Jealous. (Mine are black.)

I've used soft luggage on an F2, F4 and F4i. Works great on them all.

those look a lot like the Cortech sport saddlebags.. I have their tailbag and if I ever had to get a set I would probably buy them since they look great and are designed to work with the tailbag I have.

I think the highvis is a wise choice for the few times you would be using them.

yeah, another reason i opted for the hivis was because they have rain covers attached that are black so I could always have the black color option also. I would have loved to get the cortech but the price difference went worth it to me to have a color match. my jacket is black and yellow from an old bike so at least that will match hah.
leaving for mts in nc/tenn tomorrow!!

So far, in one bag i have a pair of jeans, 4 t-shirts, 4 boxers and 4 socks and there is still room for some small things. The other bag I have my rain gear in and will be putting toiletries in for the trip. Ill have to keep them even but there is def a good amount of room for the weekend trip.
Yeah, the corbin seat was on there when i bought it; it is awesome compared to stock.

The only issue I've had with my saddlebags for the f4i is that they lean against (and bend) the rear signals too much...granted, mine are the stock ones.
