Hi all,
I have been really looking for a little additional storage room on the bike, and think a set of hard bags would be the perfect solution. What do you all recommend as the best bags to look for? I have seen a number of sets of the Vetter bags on ebay recently but they are for other bikes. Is it pretty easy to modify a bracket for another bike to fit the 11? I have also seen a number of universal fit hard bags that look very reminiscent of the factory Yamaha bags. Does anybody have any experience with any of these?
In the end, I do really prefer the look of the factory Yamaha bags, but because they are more model specific, they seem to be tougher to find on ebay. However, it seem that every six months or so, someone comes on here looking to sell their entire touring package and everyone talks them into sticking it in the corner of their garage just in case somewhere down the road they might decide that they would like a set. While this is probably sound advice, it seems kind of silly for someone that clearly doesn’t want these things to sit on them while some of us out here would really appreciate them. Any way, I guess what I’m saying is, if there is anyone with a factory touring setup collecting dust in the corner of their garage and would like the space back, I would love to have them and, of course, would pay a fair price. Or, if you really want to keep your options open, you could store your bags on my bike and if you ever decide that you want them back, call me and I’ll return them. I would also be interested in a set of Vetter bags or just the appropriate mounting brackets.
Thanks,
Dan
