$2000,00 for Beetle Bags? WTF?

[Willtill]

Corbin must be out of their ****ed minds! :shock:

Was perusing their web site, and had half an inkling to begin ordering a set of their Rocket 3 Beetle bags, in two toned color to match my Classic (Cherry Red/New England White). Then I looked at the price....

$1,999.00 for a set of them? :eek3:

That's a thousand bucks a bag

They may be nice, but NOT that nice....

I agree...

That's why went to the Mutazu bags and EZ Brackets...

Several people have made the same choise with mixed results. I, for one, haven't had a problem with them. I will say that I changed out the incandescent bulbs for LED strips. They take a little 'adjusting' to get them to lock tightly and I had to use some silicone sealant on the seams.

I'm still very happy with them.


BTW... I don't think that the $2k includes shipping...

Me too. They are very nice, but too expensive.
My wife is just 5' 2" and she always has trouble reaching rear pegs even
if I move them to help clear the bags.

I also have an '06 Red/White Classic! I do have a color matched Corbin Fairing but after a couple of years I may sell it,
not sure.

It's called instant inflation. After being in business for how many decades now, Corbin still wants more? How much is enough?

Well, it's still $1,799 for the single color, but you have to bend over a little further for the two-tone.

I have the Corbin bags, but I got them second hand slightly damaged & had them repainted for about $600. Now Corbin wants $1999 --shipping is NOT included in that price and Corbin are CRAZY ****ERS for charging such an OUTRAGEOUS Price...! they should be banned or something.. thats just SICK! :soapbox:

+1
2k is a little high. Mine came with the bike (baught it used) but I do like them.

It's called supply & demand.

No... it's called "pricing yourself out of the market"

I can see it in the not too distant future. For sale: Black Corban Beetle bags 10k (2005 Triumph Rocket attached)

I have them in cardinal red. When I got mine I think they were about $1200. It would be foolish to sell a used bike with them on because no one will pay more for the bike with any accessories. When I sell a bike I always strip off all the extras and sell them separately. You would be surprised how much more you net on the total sale.

No, it’ called supply and demand. 6-8 weeks to get a Fairing. They have plenty of work.

Are you buying a fairing from them? I was thinking of getting one as well, until I started looking at the prices.....
