i have a set of tour master cortech sport saddlebags and am fairly satisfied with them.

gonna add the matching sport tailbag to supplement a little. they're a good size for a day ride or for commuting but for a dedicated "road trip" bag...i'm looking for something significantly larger.

i had hoped to "mount" these UNDER the seat for some added security but that drops the bags just enough to become an issue with the pipe. even with the heat-resistant material...there was some considerable "softening" of the material after a relatively short ride. mounted ON SEAT, there are no such issues.



i certainly like the look of the bags...they follow the contour of the pipe well...hence the "sport bag" moniker, i suppose.

they're attached quite simply via 4 straps with quick release clasps...2 on the pillion footrest brackets and two on the rear signals.

also...good reflective qualities...

overall...day trips/commuting **** of *****
touring ** of *****
