Title: Saddle bags
Post by: Billk on November 05, 2018, 10:14:56 PM
Has anybody come up with some creative saddle bags, other than stock, that can be attached to the stock saddle bag brackets.
Just wondering
Pictures would be nice

I have been looking at soft bags (leather or canvas) that are generic fit.  I have found many that seem kind of small.  I am looking to carry my lunch, papers, few items from the store.  The trunk (top box) is good but ugly and hard cases make the bike unnecessarily wide for daily use.

Soft bags should strap to the existing bag frames.  No security but I don't need any.

How often is it that you get exactly what you want?

I bought a pair of leather saddlebags on eBay to use on my Triumph that attach with two straps, so they would probably mount fine on the K Bike Z bar.   The seller was from India, but I received them in the USA in less than a week.  They were fairly inexpensive but the leather and craftsmanship were actually quite nice.  Mine are on the small size but the seller has larger versions.    Search ebay for 'motorcycle saddlebags leather'.

I just don't understand why someone would want other bags besides the BMW.  These days they are cheap enough and quickly come off without a lot of fuss.

Dig up Tim Tyler 's threads, he  did lots of interesting things with luggage on his K75.
