and the wolf:

I think they should be able to attach to my standard Trunk rack on the back. what do you think? and which bag do you think would be better for the bike, I wouldnt want it hanging half ass onto the seat or the back of the bike :P. I do like there bags.

I like both of them but I think my preference is the Wolf Tail. I am considering the Enduro or the Tail myself. there is a dealer about 45 min. away. I just have to find the time to get there with cash in my pocket.

Hmm the closest outlet for me is in athens which is about two hours away :X thats a long drive just to go look at these damn things. I wish someone had one and could take a picture of the size ratio on they're K Bike

I've seen an '88 K100RS and an '85 K100RS using rear Saddlebags and Rack Bags on their bikes from RKA Luggage. RKA is located in Northern CA., USA. Goggle RKA motorcycle Luggage to find their website if interested. :yes

You mean 2hours is a nice ride and you can even go and look at some bags right?

ill have to call and see, one of the shops was a dirtbike Shop and the other might not have the models I want, but I'm probably going to call soon and ask which ones they have so If they do have them I can compare them on the bike. I think I like the peak tail though for its small size.

If you get to see them before I do, please take a close look at the enduro model. I am thinking it would work as a great place
to store a bike cover and locks.

I think I have pretty much decided... the

and the peak tail for the back end.

followed by city cases. thats more than enough luggage room.

I thought you did not want a tank bag.

branandfox · « **Reply #34 on:** July 10, 2012, 01:32:31 PM »

I didn't but I like the Y strap system and the bag looks really complimentary for my K. I like the sporty style of the bag. Also being in georgia Ive been back and forth about them because I need a map. We have so many good roads and mountains to ride around that its nice to have a highlighted map of what roads your taking.

branandfox · « **Reply #35 on:** July 10, 2012, 02:49:24 PM »

Well I guess that means I dont need a tailbag, especially since I have the RS bars, Unless I bought some new bars. :X

argent brick · « **Reply #36 on:** July 10, 2012, 04:31:33 PM »

Is that oem bars on any k75 or 100?

johnny · « **Reply #37 on:** July 10, 2012, 05:13:36 PM »

this applies to the oem tankbag on a k1100rs with oem k1100rs bars...

the oem motobrick tankbag is 8" wide where the k1100rs switchgear on oem k1100rs bars touches the bag... actually the switch gear comes within 3/4 an inch of touching the tankbag at full lock on each side... this means that a tankbag wider than 9 1/2 inches will be contacting the k1100rs switchgear with oem k1100rs bars...

I think I will eventually purchase the timberwolf tank bag and also some supersport bars as such, that way they wont impede.

Maybe.. Its a thought in progress xD

argent brick · « **Reply #39 on:** July 12, 2012, 12:16:55 AM »

The side pockets are removable on many of the wolfman tankbags. You might not have to change bars :)

branandfox · « **Reply #40 on:** July 12, 2012, 01:58:04 AM »

I want new bars regardless I think. and I want the side pockets. I carry a lot of shit Lol. The peak tail will come first. SOON! I will post pics when I get it! :>

argent brick · « **Reply #41 on:** July 12, 2012, 04:34:08 AM »

You know, I was thinking, if you are not happy with your hard bags, pick up those Hepco & Becker mounts. Then you can run with Wolfman side bags also. Good idea? Yes, no, maybe.

It is amazing how someone will think and dream about spending money belonging to someone else LOL.

branandfox · « **Reply #42 on:** July 12, 2012, 01:23:11 PM »

Holy hell your right! but I actually like them, just want something smaller for the normal around town rides. Ima pick up the city cases. Its actually funny. me and my buddy will shop for each other all the time, ill look for daytona or katana parts and hell tell me his ideas for my beemer. thats how you know its true love eh?

argent brick · « **Reply #43 on:** July 12, 2012, 02:48:18 PM »

I live about 50 miles from the city of San Francisco and it is amazing the different ways people will define true love out here.
You would be amazed LOL.

The only real problem that I see with the city cases is that they are really narrow. Sharp looking cases, but hey just do not have much space in them. I have a left one and I have never used it out on the road yet. I keep my shop books in it. They have a fixed plastic divider inside. I think they were designed for people with briefcases. Did you know that they were used on police bikes? I would like to have a complete set with the matching police crash bars. Of course, then I would want to paint my bike police white and I would have to change my name to White Brick :)

branandfox · « **Reply #44 on:** July 12, 2012, 02:51:13 PM »

haha, had no idea they were used on the police bikes! I would use them alot. I do some two up riding and it would be perfect for my girlfriends purse and things, and Don't forget Ill have the peak bag too! im still reeling on the inside as to what to paint my bike actually.

I don't know if you lanesplit but I do all the time in CA and city cases are a Godsend for splitting. When splitting with full-sized cases you need to worry about hitting them against cars whereas with the city cases you don't need to worry. (I got used to riding with city cases when I had my bike in CA and then forgot I had full-sized bags on the way home and manged to knock one off on a truck bumper while filtering up to the front at a stoplight in SF.)

And they're toploading so they're very convenient for running errands.

branandfox · « **Reply #46 on:** July 12, 2012, 03:07:50 PM »

in really dense traffic in atlanta I've wanted to lane split before but as stated by duck, as always right on time, I worried about my cases. good point made!
