Title: Newb question on bags....
Post by bess227 on 04/24/12 at 08:41:44

First of all, thanks for what I have already learned from you fine folks on this site already.

Just purchased an 07 S40 with 1100 miles for my commuter bike. I am wondering if anyone can give me some insight into some saddlebags that will fit without a lot of problems or mods. Seems like a small space to work with, but I know you folks will have the answer.

I am not looking for anything grand....just functional for an everyday rider.

I appreciate the help.

Safe journeys to all of you.

Scott

Any Willie and Max compact slant bag will fit.

or something of similar dimensions.

Thanks for the help.

I have a tape measure, but was wondering if there were some that were more compatabile than others.

Definitely look into those.

Have a great day.

I just ordered a Saddlemen tunnel bag this weekend.

I'm not sure how I'll like it yet, but it looks as convenient as a backpack with out the back strain.

(I'm assuming your not set on saddlebags)

SALB,

That is awesome. I don't think I have ever seen one of those. Great option to consider.

Thanks for the link.
