Will firebolt saddlebags fit the 1125r? Found a used set and can get them for a good price. | ||

think I found it out did some more research and they won't without some fabbing, so will just go with the fiberglass ones that I got for free and fab them up. | ||

keep us posted on how the fiberglass ones go. i think i want to go the same route. | ||

Don't know why they wouldn't fit, the tail sections are the same. | ||

They fit just fine. You just cant use the bracket that comes with them but to be honest I never did anyway. I use them on my ll25r. they do get in the way of the passenger pegs though. | ||
| Redbuell1203 |
already have the passenger pegs off. Using them as a mounting point for the hard bags. Just wanted to have an alternative in case these bags I have don't work out. Do the buell bags use the pegs as a way to mount? | ||

no the turn-signals give them some support. I thought they worked fine and I had them full too. | ||

Which Firebolt saddlebags do you mean exactly? I have a set and they fit perfectly, and they were even listed for the 1125 in 2009. There have been a couple different designs I think. Below is a pic of mine with expansion on the bottom zipped open. They look better with the expansion closed, but this particular day was out of necessity. The part number on my install sheet says "88209-09Y". Do note that mine are installed opposite the P&A catalog, because IMO it looks better that way. Detachable Saddlebags for 1125R/1125CR and Firebolt Models • Constructed of durable 600 denier fade-resistant polyester with waterproof zippers. • Semi-rigid construction retains shape. • Detachable bags with easy on/off mounting system that can be used with or without tailbag (88203-09Y). • 2" expandability feature allows for increased storage capacity. • Includes soft rubber handles and built in rain cover for each bag. • Padded no-slip, scratch resistant back for paint protection. • Reflective accent stripe for increased nighttime visibility. • Embroidered Buell logo completes the look. • Approximate size: 17" L X 8.5" W X 10" H; Expanded: 17" L X 8.5" W X 12" H 88209-09Y $229.95  | ||

They are the "S" looking ones. I think they are the older style. I am still thinking of getting them and just having them as a back up pair and just make a different mounting bracket. | ||

Ponti, how did that tank bag work out for you? Is it high enough that you could relax your arms a little and use it to take some weight off them? I got this same tank bag but have not had a chance to use it yet. Just wondering. Thanks. |
