Title: Replacing the plastic bags
Post by: Pagman on November 07, 2011, 09:50:27 PM
Now that my K100 is fairing free, the oem plastic bags make it look too bulky from the back. I'm considering on taking those off and buying a set of lower profile canvas throw-over bags. Anyone have suggestions, or pics, as to which bags would look kick *ss on a K? I wouldn't mind buying a bmw set to match (if they have).

I like Wolfman's products

I am in a similar situation. I have checked out the Hepco option. Not bad, but an 800+ upgrade between rack and bags. Some of the larger Wolfman bags look like a good option for longer trips, but rack looks like an issue. Curious if anyone has had success with using the stock BMW z rack as a brace/support with Wolfman bags. Agent Brick maybe?

Maybe shift to city cases.

Some of the metal racks made for Hepco-Becker bags on Ks might work. (I know where to get some. :yes)

Yeah, I was thinking about that Frankenduck. I've seen the racks over on Fleabay. But it's kind of in for a penny. If I'm gonna drop 2bills plus on a rack, why not go all the way and get the Hepco-Becker Juniors over the Wolfman Rock 6 bills, 8 bills. Why the heck not?  :yow In any case, if I do bite the bullet at least I should get something back on the 1 1/2 Series 3s I could sell.
