Author Message   Cataract2 Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 11:42 pm:        So, was wondering how many with the 1125R have saddle bags with it? I'm looking at the Cortech Sport bags myself.   Krassh Posted on Monday, March 24, 2008 - 11:51 pm:        Chase Harper Stealth Bags.   Cataract2 Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 12:12 am:        Krassh, those look nice. What are the dimensions of them. Got any pics of the inside of them?   Krassh Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 01:39 am:        13.5" x 7.5" x 10.5" (per side). 1.28 cubic feet or 36.5 litres of space. I do not have any pics of the inside but might have a chance to snap some tomorrow. Also got a storage pod that matches the side bags pretty close. Thanks to Baggermike for him posting the pics of his first with these items. He did all the hard research. After I saw his posted pictures I knew I had to pick some up.   Ccryder Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:15 am:        Look here: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/323698.html?1206284892 about 7/8 down the page.

Unzip the expander and they're HUGE - 48 liters They aren't real pretty, but they won't be on the bike very often. Zack   Ccryder Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 10:54 am:        FWIW: expanded the Oxford bags and 1st gear bags are about the same size (Oxford's are ~500ci bigger). 48 liters=2929 ci. Later Neil S.   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 11:22 am:        Here's some pix Damn, white balance is shifted to the red.... Z   Luisemilio25r Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 06:33 pm:        Zac4mac where did you get the seat? looks comfy.   Luisemilio25r Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 06:34 pm:        Oh and how much did you pay for it?   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:38 pm:        Buell tour seat, I paid MSRP-10% Beats the hell out of that frying pan that comes stock. Z   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:39 pm:        Damn! nobody noticed the reflections in my shiny frame?   Towjam Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 08:58 pm:        I did. Looks sweet!   Helicon Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 09:33 pm:        Zac, i noticed and you got me wondering ... what did you do? is that a cover? Did you repaint? You notice a difference with the frame heating up?   Zac4mac Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 09:44 pm:        I lacquered the frame and swingarm, wet-sanded and steel-wooled them, after a couple of days waxed them. I found it darkened them to the point that there wasn't much difference in the blue and black. I wanted it all black in the first place. Now I can add amber wheels like Bearly's, a Valencia Orange translucid airbox and gold-anodized bar-ends. God, if somebody will make an amber polycarb windscreen, I'll be in Nirvana. Z   Bearly Posted on Tuesday, March 25, 2008 - 10:07 pm:        Be... Be the bear. That will look great Mac!   Krassh Posted on Wednesday, March 26, 2008 - 02:52 am:        Here are some more pics.
