Here ya go. Still have to get the turn signals on. I like them more than I thought I would. Big, yes! Wide, yes! Here I come Four Corners. Three more weeks. Est. 5000 miles in three weeks all in my Buell glory. Enjoy     | ||

That looks pretty good! I hope you get a new rear tire before you leave, though. | ||

Hey Chris - Sorry for not getting back to you yet about the rear sigs. I've been too swamped to put a message together that walks you through it. I noticed your signals don't seem to be on yet... Do you still need help? | ||

Hey Coop, I was supposed to get some extender cables like H&B supplied but only longer. I am hoping this is all I need. I unplugged the turn signals and have reinstalled the lights on the rear of the rack. I did not have to splice any wires YET. I am hoping not to. What do you think of the bags coop? | ||

Is that a carbon fiber tank guard? If so, where did you get it? | ||

Yeah, it was my experience that there's basically two routes you can go with the rear sig wiring. If you use the pigtails with the kit, you will probably have to buy four more extensions like the ones that come with the kit to make them long enough to reach all the way back. Or you just go buy a couple feet of signal wire and some inline clamp-on/heat-shrink connectors. I think I may redo mine with inline clamps and wire extensions over the winter, but for now the pigtail splices work just fine. Trust me, I just put them through 9hrs of pouring rain at 85mph a few weeks ago. Your bags look really good. They seem to fit the bike and flow visually a little better than the big uly ones I have, and someone already said it, but the silver panel on the bags seems to match the frame very nicely. Nice work! Speaking of tires, grab yourself some Diablo Stradas for your trip... you wont regret it! I got 9k out of my rear, and can probably make it halfway through the summer on what's left of my front. I'm not really a tire abuser though. | ||

Tanks Coop, Yeah I really like the conti road attacks. I have another for the rear. The front still has alot of life left. I need to change the fluids, brake pads in the front, hardwire the garmin ZUMO, and spoon the rear tire on and then I should be set. | ||

Coop, One other question. My racks and bags came with an additional part for each rack. It looks like a rectangular black clasp for the rack I did not instal these to the racks. I thought it was for a different type of bag. The directions don't have any thing about these parts. Any idea if you installed these parts? Tanks | ||

Your bags look great! I'm thinking of adding a pair to my cg. Just a couple of questions. Who did you get them from? How long did they take to come in? Can you fit a full face helmet in them? Thanks | ||

Can you ride 2 up with that set up? | ||

He could but the passenger doesn't have anywhere to put their feet. | ||

Hey coop, I bought the wires but when I took the lights off I noticed that all I had to do is rewire the extensions that H&B provided up through the rubber hole and connect them to the terminal thingys. I ended up not having to cut, splice, or add anything. Everything works great. Rode the other day and it is ready. Now brake pads, rear tire, oil change, gear fluid change, get the Zumo hardwired. | ||

How about a photo with the bags off to show the rack? | ||
| Coops53233 |
Sorry for the late arrival (again) Wow, I didnt even know you could wire them up that easy. lol, i guess i should have boned up on my german before trying to read the instruction manual! What are these extra parts you're speaking of? Do you have pictures? I dont recall having any extra parts at the end... | ||

Anyone here know if I can modify these to fit my TT? I went with the TT over the CityX because it was the same price, but I love these bags. |
