Detachable saddlebags pics??

I talked with the dealer about mine, and he said that they have to be "Broken" in. I'm hoping that's the case. I have a weekend trip to the Alps in August...so I have time to break them in.

Phazernut and jsg, good luck, I hope the fit/work out for you guys.[up]

Well what I will do is try them on at the dealer tomorrow before buying them and I hope they will somewhat fit because I really want to take my bike for the trip instead of taking the car, but I have to carry all my flying gear, 2 flight suits and some civilian cloths including gym stuff so I need some kind of saddle bags and the tank bag is very small so I don't think I'll get that one. It sucks because I have a very nice and big tank bag but it's magnetic and will not work on the plastic airbox

Man, that's an easy fix...just use bungie cords! lol, ok, I'm just kidding!

So I used the bags on a long distance trip...and the dealership was right. Once there was some weight in the bags, they fit pretty good. I didn't do the "reflector" relocation bracket part...but it worked out. Did an 1800 mile ride over six days. Had the tank bag, saddle bags, and trunk bag. It all worked. Only thing is...not of it is water proof, so be sure to put your stuff in plastic bags. The tank and trunk bags come with a rain over, but the saddle bags don't. The saddle bags are pretty small. If you need more than 5-6 days of clothes plus cover, and rain gear...bring a back pack. I brought mine as a "souvineer" bag.
