#148384 01star (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 28 Recommendations for saddlebags? 9 Years, 2 Months ago   Anyone have any recommendations for saddlebags? Nylon vs. leather? Bolt-on vs. throwover? The star silverado bags are nice but also very expensive.   Logged     Girls are like pianos.

How do plan to use them? If you plan on touring go big. dennis Kirk has some saddlemen bags on clearance that are worth checking out. I believe Musky said you should really go with a minimum of 20 inches(length) for the bags to look good on the roadstar. another consideration is if you are running stock pipes or aftermarket.

I have had both, and the convenience (water proof and lockable) of hard bags really grows on you.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #148403 javawave (User) Over 18314 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 5716 Re:Recommendations for saddlebags? 9 Years, 2 Months ago   Hard bags.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #148409 rstarny (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 390 Re:Recommendations for saddlebags? 9 Years, 2 Months ago   i like hard bags myself there lockable and dress up the bike nicely i have tsukayu strong bags   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #148410 silvasilv (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1014 Re:Recommendations for saddlebags? 9 Years, 2 Months ago   i prefer leather i always feel like i can squeeze one extra thing in them since the flex a bit, for hard bags ive never found them to be big enough but ive also only see harley hard bags i love my hardmounted saddlemen bags i also have the stock silverado saddlebags if youd want to buy them   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #148419 DrumDon (User) Real men have twins! Platinum Boarder Posts: 1260 Re:Recommendations for saddlebags? 9 Years, 2 Months ago   It's all personal preference as far as looks. If you go soft (leather or vinyl) bags, I'd recommend Easy Brackets or Ghost Brackets. I just got some Heavy Duty/Carroll Leather bags from Carolina Leather Works (click here to check out their website) for Christmas, and LOVE them. Carolina Leather Works has THE BEST prices on this style of saddlebags. I mounted them with Easy brackets... they're made with hardened & very stiff back sides so Easy Brackets works very well. They're leather - I wouldn't recommend vinyl, as it just doesn't look as good. I had a pair of vinyl/synthetic bags on my old V-Star, and didn't like it. :-DD.   Logged     Last Edit: 2008/12/29 18:55 By DrumDon.   2001 HD Road King Classic   The administrator has disabled public write access. #148460 Mark7 (User) Look for me on MSN chat if you want. Platinum Boarder Posts: 2061 Re:Recommendations for saddlebags? 9 Years, 2 Months ago   One word of advice: If you go with the hard bags see about also investing in the lowering kit from Geno. They lower the bags down a bit and it's way more appealing visually. At least that's what I think.

That is one mod that IMO really pulls the look together when using hard bags, specially the stock ones.   Logged     Ask me about my attention deficit disorder or my pie or my cat. A dog.
