You can go to corbin.com and look at the beetle bags. Givi also offers some stuff. Or you can just buy soft luggage like the stuff I got from Cortech. I really feel the soft is the way to go for me since I hate ugly.

The beetle bags look funky to me. Givi looks better. And here's some ...

But I don't recall the maker. Perhaps someone here will know. Heck, if you're gonna go for the soft stuff, might as well just throw on a backpack,
I always say!

Personally I've been looking at these on Ebay for awhile now...

OK, kidding aside, seems I've heard of some issues involving overheating/melting on the pipe side. Is that not true?

I havent had any issues with the soft luggage. And its hard to move around on the bike fo cornering while wearing a backpack full of clothes and shoes!

nefton,

I have the Nelson Rigg STSB-250 soft saddle bags on my 02 Bandit. Never had any heat issue.

PaulVS,

I have the Moto-Pak tail bag. Construction quality is top notch. If I had bought the tail bag before I bought the NR saddle bags, I would have bought the MP bags, too.
