Roadster to Touring in 3...2...

[Rob D]

Hi everyone.

I have the Roadster that is slowly morphing to to the touring version.
I’ve added a passenger back rest and saddle bags, the bags were done in haste.
Once they were installed I saw R3s with hard bags. Now I want some.

Any ideas on getting started?

Thanks

Yeah you need lots of penny’s for “Corbin Beetle bags”.

It can be done. The one I saw here had a lot of work done to make the touring bags look right.

Those are sweet. Nice look. I will keep them in mind.

Merely my opinion -
The Corbin bags look very nice & fit well, but:
1) They are not very large in capacity
2) They will be ruined in a tip-over or minor crash
3) They are VERY spendy for what you get

Yep corbin does look good a disintegrates on contact with the pavement.

Now hepco and becker are tough and come in either 30 or 40 liter size

Looking at Warp's pics makes me miss my 07 Classic. I chose one of the synthetic bags. Cavernous and when I went down once they scuffed just a bit. There are a several cheaper, better options out there than the hyper expensive Corbins. And ya can't go wrong with HBs. They are well made and very sturdy.

I have to be honest I prefer the H&B over the corbins.

Mutazu model MU...$259 on eBay. Their mounting brackets suck and they need reinforced on the inside but they flow nicely with R3 lines.
