What do y'all think ....?
 
....of hard saddlebags on a V-Rod??

I want some.... just don't know if I'd want to invest in them knowing I might trade my bike as soon as my trucklet is paid off.

Eh, strikes me as a soft leather style bike, but that's JMO.

Dirty Dan 08-22-2008 12:38 PM

I've never seen bags on one. I don't think E Glide style bags would look appropriate. But there might be some after market ones that look good.

ms_tapestry 08-22-2008 12:39 PM

Get you some bags darling. . .you can always take them off before you trade it in. . .I'd love to have some but I don't think they'd look right on Tawanda. . . :Tonya:

How much gas will those bags hold?

Probably wouldn't make it handle any better, and yeah, fuel capacity is still an issue. :banghead:

There's a guy that has them around here. Doesn't look bad.

That's my favorite one too! :Tonya:

trade it and get a bike with bags. :Poke:

Hodawwg 08-22-2008 02:19 PM

I think it would mess up the look of the bike.

When travelling to Butte, Montana a couple of years ago, a lady on a V-Rod with saddlebags passed me up. She ended up staying at the same motel in Butte, and was just getting off her bike when I rolled up. She had saddlebags on it and a dog carrier to carry her dog.

I don't think it looked that bad at all....

I'll pretend to like it if you buy me a new bike. :whistling:

I think with a different seat (and bags), mine would be more comfortable for longer rides like that. But of course, nothing is going to resolve the fuel capacity problem. :banghead:
