mjdoliveira Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 Have decided to spend about $250 on soft saddlebags (ones I can just throw over the back seat). Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Barrett Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 :!: Don't just throw them over the seat. :!: Make sure that they're secured in place and can't slip down and get dragged into wheel. Okay there's more of an issue with tail packs but it can happen to throwovers as well. This is why I like my Teknos. Have a wire frame that's not too noticeable.

Thanks!! 78107[/snapback] I'm all about Sport-Touring and I've opted for the Cortech "Sport" saddle and tail bags (available HERE but you have to search the saddle bags and tail bag seperatly). One must pack conservatively but can stay on the road indefinitely with them and a 18 liter tank bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! 78107[/snapback] I've got some Wolfman throw overs, and tail pack, work very well. I don't think I'd use any throw overs on the V11, as I'd be too concerned about paintwork chaffing on the tail bodywork. The only softbags I'd use on a V11/Lemans are the Techno kit. Ciao, Steve G.

Murray Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I have a set of gearsacks which have always worked well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velofish Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 I have the Givi Arrow bags. Excellent stuff, and if you use some rbber mesh underneath they stayt in place and don't scrape the paint up. However, after checking out some set-ups at rallys, my rating would be-- 1Tekno with the mounts like Martin 2 Cortech like Dr Gil 3 Givi Arrows Oh well, live and learn fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
velofish Posted February 11, 2006 Share Posted February 11, 2006 Oh, didn't mean to imply that the Givis were better than RKA etc. Just don't remember seeing the others. fish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
