yamabob Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 As promised pix of the little bags hung. Quite secure, a strap pulls forward to hold the rod in the sleeve. There is 12" excess on the straps (one size fits all) so I pulled them over the seat to hold each other together. A square foot of Velcro holds the bags to each other over the seat and by pulling tight they are surprisingly steady. I still can't believe the crummy hardware that replaced the 12mm bolts on the footrest brackets. Hopefully the Locktite will keep them firm. 6mm Allen head screws are undersized for this application. The wrench spun in all four screw heads so I cannot loosen or tighten. check it out here <iframe class="imgur-album" width="100%" height="550" frameborder="0" src="//imgur.com/a/U16tR/embed"></iframe>http://imgur.com/a/U16tR#b94Pgtn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member hippiebikerchick Posted August 27, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 27, 2014 I really like them. I need more carrying capacity and I'm torn between saddlebags and a tailbag/case. These would definitely make it easier to throw a leg over.

afjbyers Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I like them, but I am so torn because I bought the bike for the naked look. I love the minimalist look of the bike, but I have to admit they would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planetwister Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 I disagree on the hardware provided. I didn't have any issues with bolts stripping out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member hobbs Posted August 27, 2014 Premium Member Share Posted August 27, 2014 Think I'll be getting a set for my commute and weekend excursions.

The rods left on are not unsightly but can be slipped off. Permanent install is the brackets under the footrest attachments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
