And don't forget to pay attention to "The Marketplace".  People on here sell their stuff all the time.  In fact there's a set of bags for sale now: http://suzukisavage.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1247838751

Can please post how the matuza LN hardbag install goes and if they fit? I was thinking of ordering them but thinking the measurements might be tight. Not very comfortable with having to relocate turn signals etc to make it work.

Do you have a link to those bags? They look pretty sweet. flcruzr
what are you asking for them?
Thanks

Hey Strafford_guy, where the F have you been all this time? I have a set of those bags on my bike. Install wasn't too bad. the only problem that I had was that the LED turn signals that came with the bags wren't really bright enough to be seen during the daylight hours. So what I did (Toymaker did the same thing) was to mount a set of amber turn signals and wire the LED's to the brake lights. Here's a pic:

On one side I have a small tool kit,rain jacket and rain pants, and there's still enough room for a quart of gas if I feel i might need it. On the other side I put my Thermos of coffee and a bunch of bungies and there's room for other stuff like gloves, sunglasses, etc...

Try your local horse supply store.  I was in TSC (Tractor Supply Company) yesterday.  They have a set of black or brown nylon throw over saddlebags, not huge, but was $40.  I also have up some leather equestrian saddlebags, but the stitching didnt hold up when I hung up on my truck bumper in the garage.  They were about $40 on ebay.

I have the cortech tourmaster saddle bags, they are a size medium. I think that they cost me about $180. they are a little pricey, but they did great on a recent 2,800 mile round trip. I love them, and was able to hold a lot of things. As far as removal, these bags have a locking zipper so thast they can be removed from the bike easily, and carried inside with you. I took them off at hotels, and when we got where we were staying. Kind of like a little suit case I guess. And I use them on a day to day basis. I keep my purse, and dress shoes, I work at a bank in them, and they are plenty big enough for a little bit of groceries if need be.  The right side wants to rub a little bit on the back tire, and I had to sinch them as short as i could get them, but a piece of strap metal bent into the right shape would easily preven that.

Ill bet the local Boot/Shoe repair guy would sew that up for you for $10.00. If you dont want to mess with it, If you posted a pic I might be willing to buy them & pay the freight. I have a Biggo Sewing machine with a 1/2 horse motor.
