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!  :stickpoke:   :lol:   :beers:

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.
