I'm using mine for daily commuting, a 90 mile round trip, and would like to get a set of saddlebags to carry my laptop (14.5"x11") and my lunch instead of the backpack I am currently using. The Suzuki saddle bags look too small, but no dealer locally has a set I can measure and the Suzuki site doesn't list dimensions. My bike does have the frame to keep the saddlebags off the moving parts. Does anyone have a recommendation for what fits and could carry what I would like to carry?
If all you want to carry are a laptop and lunch, the factory bags are enough, and look / fit very nicely on the bike
if you want to carry groceries, camping gear, or much more than a laptop and lunch, they're a bit small here's a pick of them of my bike when I bought it
they are 13" tall, 10" 'long, and 3 1/2" deep
currently I'm using Coretech 'sport' bags as the factory bags are too small for the sort of stuff I carry, but they are nice and seem like good quality bags
I could toss em back on the bike and get a pic from the side if you like, I just use my bags in 'throw over' mode
