Cortech Bags Review

[scooterjunkie]

They're holding their shape nicely, perfect size and look for the bonnie in my book. I haven't used them in the rain but they come with covers, retail for about $150.

A little on the small side, but I think anything bigger for daily use kind of overwhelms the look of the bike. I like the look of these a LOT - they're faux leather but a perfect complement to the faux leather look of the stock seat.

$80.

Here is 06 Bonnie Blk with Factory Bags I believe they are called Hi-way Bags but not sure
I like the way thy sit they're not to big and can hold quite a bit

Started with the Triumph leather bags:



Which looked great, but didn't hold much in actual use:



So I swapped them for some soft bags with an expansion gusset that doubles their size:

Tourmaster 2 Medium Slants, using Triumph rails. I have since taken them off but mount when needed. Great for day trips, excellent quality, but not suitable for real touring.

I have the Triumph soft bags, to me:

1. They are a good size for day-to-day use
2. Come with real nice brackets, easy to install
3. High Quality
4. Look good
5. Too small for longer trips, I need a second set for that
6. You pay for the Triumph name and can buy cheaper elsewhere

Given all that, I love them.

These are BMW R1200C cases fitted to my T100. I had a local fabricator make the frames. They detach easily and retain the stock indicator mounts. These are 22 usable litres, but there are 37 litre ones available.
