dert,

I checked out the River Road bags you recommended and I like them! They list 3 sizes:

12"Wx9.5"Hx6"D
14"Wx12"Hx6"D
12"Wx10"Hx5"D

Can you tell me which ones you had because I'm not really interested in doing a signal relocation?

Any help you can provide is much appreciated!

Thanks,

I couldn't tell what kind they are, but I've got throwovers (zip ons) for my '05 xl 1200C. I wanted bigger ones than was supposed to fit the bike, so I took them to a local leather shop & had the yoke made smaller for $10. With the zip on bags you can actually buy a smaller yoke with some companies. I hadn't seen any scratching after a few months but eventually I did put a shammy under it to keep from happening. I love them. ...oh & they saved my paint job when I went down.

 

Oh, one more thing..I did have my lights relocated..& the pouches in the front on each side are really handy!

 

Thumper .Mine are 12 x 10. They have lids that go over the edge,looks neater .Also hard plastic retainers built in to keeo p their shape.No signal relocation .I believe I paid 93.00 for mine over 2 years ago...ie River Road /

 

This is awesome, for the first time I didn't have to search the archives to find a string. I am thinking about getting saddle bags also, but don't know anything about them. Do they make certain bags for different bikes, or are they universal fit?

Thanks,

Ed
