Saddle bags wanted and different types considered?

Sim I notice you had some hard panniers on the VL, you still use them or have you sold them? might be interested in them if you are thinking of selling them.
Great pics there mate, go me thinking of the bikes I have had over the years !!!

Jim.

I swapped them with a Mr Intruder on the forum Jim, He might still have them and not use them?

Sorry Jim, I still have them & don't use them but the are great as I made some quick locking detachable mounts for them when I need to use the bike for work. So I can't let them go.

Cheers Sim, I will catch up with him, where did you get them from originally?

Jim.

No worries Dave, you don't get if you don't ask lol

Jim.

I got them from Ursus Moto panniers Jim, but can't seem to find there web page to post a link.

I have just searched & my inkling is that they have gone under.

there's quite a few available from Germany on ebay at reasonable prices,

I think they are the same make.

ps the wife likes them so in my book that a "good to go" for a little purchase in the new year !!! lol

Jim.

They have some on Amazon too, I got mine from there online shop, but they also sold on ebay and amazon, Mal got some second hand for a good price off ebay.

The ones I'm using now are Viking panniers, Leatherette outside but a solid inner with a metal frame to hold the shape, As for use lol they're always full of stuff from flask,waterproofs,tools,sat nav,spare reg,locks and of course the micro fibre polishing cloth  

Far prefer the soft hard bags lol. Can you post the link please buddy.

http://www.vikingbags.com/suzuki-boulevard-c50-swing-arm-motorcycle-saddlebags-7812-prd1.htm

At $72 dollars that's a good price in proper money !!!

edit......just checked the uk price and its £72 notes !!!! that's not exactly fare is it !!!

Jim.

Now I want thesehttp://www.vikingbags.com/suzuki-boulevard-m50-universal-ss-large-slanted-motorcycle-saddlebags-9790-prd1.htm#&ui-state=dialog

Sent them an email to ask about intentional shipping.

And I have just sent a message to the UK supplier asking if they will price match the USA price at current exchange rate !!!!
Lets see what we come up with Kevin.

Jim.
ps Kevin your link aint working???

Nice one Jim. I bought the M800 to get the clean look and those bags and the suzuki seat cowl would look great. Kevin

Yeah they are smart Kevin, here's the working link mate.

Jim have a look at mine, see if there up your street.

Very tempted with them Arron, but don't want to put them under the seat, think they might do a kit to hard fix, but not saved enough pennies yet  

Well I got a reply back from the UK supplier and as far as I can tell it was just an automated response as it didn't actually answer my question?? so I have sent an email to them explaining again that at current exchange rates it should be approx. £45 GBP ......so lets see what comes back?.....don't hold your breath lol

Jim.

I had just had a reply from Viking Bags. They suggest using their UK supplier http://www.motorcyclehouse.co.uk

In had an look on their site. The bags I want are out of stock and cost £125 But still very reasonable when you consider shopping costs and the dreaded duty. I will call them today. More importantly, my bike is being delivered to my house today at about 10 am  

Bet you are on the edge of your seat waiting for your new bike !!! get some pics up later mate.....if you find time lol

Jim.

I just hoped I picked wisely. I have had a 2005 XL1200C (very underated bike), Vrod1130, Streetbob 96cu

I like the muscle styling of the M800 but am starting to like the chrome of the C800C.

Anyways without highjacking the thread, these bags look great and now feature a locking lid. Will have to measure the bike when it arrives to ensure they fit. One of the problems with the VZ800 Intruder M800 2010 onwards is that it is never listed. Does Uncle Sam not have these models?

 UK aint budging on the price of there swing arm saddle bag !!!! got a reply back today.

Jim.

i like the style of this saddlebags...

http://www.ebay.de/sch/sako74/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=

Very nice
