What have people done for saddle bags on their x1s or tubers in general. I am having trouble finding something that would fit and look nice. Anything by Buell? | ||

i've had m2 bags on mine from almost day one. they've even held up in a wreck. i also use the cortech bags on the blast and the firebolt and lighting. the cortechs are expandible so i can put my soft side lunch box in them. on the m2 i use a cortech tank bag for the lunch box. i guess one day it would be nice to put some hard bags on the m2. just don't know if i could find something nice enough to put hard bags on the firebolt. | ||

I just picked up Cortech Sport saddlebags for Christmas to use on my M2. I got them from Bumpus Buell which is a Badweb sponsor and they were great to deal with. | ||

One of these days I'm going to fab up some Uly side cases...At least I think that'd be awesome. | ||

Buell Blast saddlebags look good and, although not big enough for touring, they are great for small stuff. | ||

Cortech saddle and tail bags, worked excellent for me so far. I'll see if I can't drum up a pic somewhere. | ||

I use Vetter Bagmans, they are probably about 10 years old now, but work great...   I fabricated a bracket from the tail section to the rear footpegs to keep the bags off of the rear tire. Always a good idea when using soft luggage... | ||

I use 1940 pack saddle bags from the swiss army on my xb!  I made some custom mountings for them and they work very good! | ||

I ruined my Buell saddle bags by taking the tire hugger off, rubbed right through one side. I purchased new saddle and trunk bags from Chase Harper, excellent quality, I use the trunk bag daily as my lunch box, but I had trouble with the bags shifting while I was riding. There is a badwebber who made a nice frame to mount on my tail section (x1) to keep the bags from shifting left or right and away from the tire. His name eludes me , it's been awhile but I can't wait to install it and use it this summer, it may even make for a good rear crash cage! | ||

Ebutch, did you make that trailer your self?  nice! There are some pictures of the luggage rack i made in the coolest custom parts on your ride thread! | ||

I found a good deal on the xbs saddle bags. Has anyone tried to fit those on the X1? Thanks | ||

Cortech soft bags (also have tail pack that matches). Works great.  |
