I loved my old factory XB saddle bags. For in town, they were big enough. They were sturdy enough to also tie a backpack to, if you laid it out over the top of the passenger seat of course. And best of all, a passenger could ride at the same time.

Then came the 1125. All I found were links to giant touring ones (no passenger), semi-giant touring ones, and other custom installs. None allowed a passenger. No good for my needs.

And then along came Al from American Sport Bike. "I have all your needs, follow me to the land of milk and honey." And I did. And here are the pics of the Chase Harper bags.

Missing from the pictures is my big sloppy grin.

Yes, they do work with a passenger.

Yes, they are stable; I hook my laptop bag up to them.

Yes, I only used the mounting hardware they came with.

Yes, you need to change the turn signals.

Yes, that is high-viz tape on the sides.

Capacity is the same as the factory XB bags.











...Bueller?....Bueller?.....Bueller?.....

I dig it, man. I didn't think those would look as nice as they do.

I prefer my old vetter bagman bags.
I've used them on my S2, my city-X, and my 1125CR. They hold everything I would need for an extended ride...

I was surprised how well it turned out as well. And like I said....you can do a passenger with no problem.

They're in the 1125 section of American Sport bike:

But there are other vendors.
