I am looking at getting saddlebags for my Blast - what kind of saddlebags do you all use?

Thanks!
Lauren

I'd be interested to hear also. I've looked at the Ventura system but it's about $350 plus shipping and handling. I'm pretty broke right now so I'd be interested in what everyone is using too.

I bought a set of Gears brand sport bike saddlebags from Dennis Kirk. I like them ad they weren't too expensive. They come with a nice set of rain covers too. Good for me, because I am an All Weather Blaster!

I used the Blast saddlebags until I tore them up in a crash. Now I just use them when going on a trip and I need a little extra room.
Big point is they fit perfectly without any issues. Bad point is they aint for touring. You can fit a lot, but not enough and there are bigger bags.
I did see a Buell set (not for a Blast- might have been XB) mounted on a Blast at a dealer and they were bigger, better and looked really good.

I do like the way Xgecko's chase harper bags look.

PS be careful what you use. Before buying anyones recommendation, ask if they rub on the belt guard.
