Hey, I was looking through the slide show on the bottom, and saw Crash's bike from Canada. He had a great picture from above showing off his bags.

What kind of saddle bags are they, and where do I get some. I want a set fot my bike to make it more long distance friendly. And the wife wants somewhere to
put her stuff in. Thanks!
P.S. Nice bike Crash! |

Those are the factory hard bags from Honda that come on the Ace Tourer and the Valkyries as stock items. There are a few cheaper alternatives if a $1200 is too
much for you.
Here is one source but there are others out there that fail me at the moment. http://www.tsukayu.com/products.htm

What about the replacement bags that Scott got from ServiceHonda ? I believe he saved a few bucks
and got OEM bags. Touble with that is that Lunytun will be the mounting hardware also.

Yep, for about half the money or less than a set of factory T bags and hardware, you can get the Strong bags, hardware to mount, side rails and top rails as
options.
Remember that Scott's was a naked bag.........no lid, hardware, lock, etc. Stan

naked bags - not a pretty site. You can buy everything you need to build a T from service honda. How much do you want to spend?

just saw your post about hardbags. i've got a nice set of bates hardbags i may be selling. they were on the old 750 honda i got and i've already used
the chrome guard rails from it on my bike. if i ever do anything with the 750, i'll probably take the fairing, trunk and bags off it. these bags look a lot
like harley hardbags and i do have the keys for them. they have some minor hairline cracks in the fiberglass, but overall in very nice shape.
if your interested, i can get a few pics posted of them. another good alternative would be to find a set of leatherlykes. they are a locking hardbags, but wrapped in leather. that's what i just put on my bike. new they are around 500 bucks, but i found a set off a valk here in k.c. and scored them for 200 bucks. there's a pic of them on my aero in the "members, non tourer" section. bud |
