flcruzr Ex Member	New Saddlebags 09/25/08 at 18:31:09 Hello Everyone! I just installed new saddlebags on my bike so I wanted to share the pics of the final look: I would like to thank ALfromN.H for his assistance and tips on the install. I got the bags from Mutasu.com

They finish off the bike really well and have a good size to them. Did you purchase them with the color or had them painted? Fido

Is that a drop side door on those saddlebags? I assume you are using the saddlebag lights for your turn signals. With the addition of a Trailer Tail Light Converter you should be able to add brake light capability in addition to the turn signals -- legal since they are red.

Verslagen: Thats the look I was going for (horizontal) but then the top did not match the curves of the fender so I opted for the curves to match. Its not as noticeable when the bike is in the upright riding position. (thanks for the keen observation) Tongue

Yonuhadisi: i'm sorry I must have been dazed or confused when we made that agreement... Grin

Thanks everyone for your thoughts...the bags came painted, they are available in white, black and silver.

I like the look! Just curious... do you park your bike outside at night, and could you give me your exact address? What tools are needed to remove them...I mean "Install" them.. Grin

Actually, I was thinking of the same bags from Mutazu, and it is nice to see how they look since my bike is the same color as yours. I was concerned that the silver bags would not look right against the more blueish color of the bike. It looks good in the pictures. Is there a notable contrast depending on the light, or do they just seem to blend in? From some angles my bike looks silver, from others it looks blue, and pictures don't always capture the color match as well.

The color actually matches the bike really well. The bags are not as metallic as the bike but overall the match is spot on.
By the way, my bike sleeps inside the garage! Tongue

Yes the bags are a drop down style door, and yes i'm using the lights as turn signals, thanks for the tip on the trailer converter, I will have to look into that.

I see the two that go in the rail, are there one or two additional on each bracket to hold the bag? If there is just one, does the bag "swivel" at all? The instructions just show one bolt on each bracket. Nice work! Gorgeous bike too.
