Curious if the R bags could be made XB-friendly... or if I should be looking closer at the after market for some decently reflective bags with rain covers. Or hard cases. Does the zumo have a nice way of hooking into/clamping onto the bike? Tad less than MSRP seems nice. |

I got a set of Oxford soft panniers for the last bike I had (GSX1400), and when I saw the bags for the Long, I was quite disappointed. So, I tried the Oxfords, to see if they fit, and they do. And they're good bags too. |

and http://www.oxprod.com/index.php?pg=3&action=dept&i d=47&pid=3&p= there's the link to what I have. They are a bit of a tight fit under the seat, but they do go on. |

They look good, not a big fan of how they doodled the names on there, but the bags themselves look pretty clever. Kinda leaning towards hard cases for the occasional long trip, but if I get into weekend touring, I may want something a little faster to mount w/out leaving brackets behind. |

If you have the XB9SX that's listed in your profile, the Zumo will come with everything you need to mount it to the bar. BTW - that price is terrible for a Zumo. I got my Zumo 550 from PC Nation for $611 shipped to my door. Current price is $650-ish. http://www.pcnation.com/web/details.asp?item=6G033 0 |
