I was given a tour pack for christmas, from mutazu.com. I am steadily trying to come up with some appropriate looking saddlebags. I am thinking the top open hard bags will look best, painted to match bike. But the other option that I am just tossing around right now, but concerned with how it will look, is the pvc saddlebags (studded or not). This is a pic of the bags I am looking at as far as pvc goes,

Of course these are $400 plus mounting brackets. I am sure I can find a nice set of HD Hardbags or similar for around the same price. I already have the mutazu side open bags, but not happy with the thickness of the plastic. They seem to be very cheaply made. I noticed they have top open bags but I have the same concerns with them as well. Just wondering what others opinions are about the pvc bags, the way they will look with a plastic tour pack and WOC fairing installed.


Thanks,
Michael

check E-Bay, I recently saw nice H-D Roadking bags for approx. $200-$250. IMHO, they look slick on a R*

Also I was wondering that which ever bags I do decide to go with, how well would ghost brackets or ez brackets work for mounting the saddle bags?

See my sigpic and the links below. The first link is to my pics on Flickr and the second link is the galley page at WOC. May give you some ideas.

Well here are my Hardstreet bags mounted with Ghost brackets. I don't like the bags, but I think if/when I get around to painting them I will like them better. If not I might sell bags and brackets. That's yet to be determined.











Hope that helps one way or the other. Finding the right bags has turn into somewhat of a nightmare for me. Hope you have better luck. Look around alot before you buy.

I have been looking at bags and fairing at wwwtsukaya.com nice hard bags and mounting hard wear cheaper then Yamaha bigger to CHECK IT OUT

I love my Ghost Brackets, if I had it to over again I would have put them on hard bags painted to match the bike.
