ok so im callin out to all you firebolt owners... i dont have a bolt i have a 1125r now. but i need some saddle bags for the wv buell rally. wich means i need them fast i found the buell bags made for the bolt. but was told they wont bolt up to the 25r because of the brackets (they are the 160 bags not the 230 ones) can someone take some pics of the brackets and the underside and post them up or email thm to me at rockstarbass1@yahoo.com so i can get an idea of what i might need to do to make them work. im on a limited budget and need somethin asap also if you have the tail bag could you post some pics of that up also. i can get the saddle bags and the tail bag for 150.... if not i need to buy some cortech bags and that will be about 180 for the set with the tail bag orrr i can get the 25r and firbolt bag that works for both that normally goes for 230 for about 175.. im not getting alot of info on my section so i figured id ask here thanks everyone! chris

I know that the tailbag will work no problem.

Is it this bag your talking about?

If so then I'm not sure as the bracket for these mounts to the passenger peg bracket bolts.

If the space between bolts are the same on the 1125R as the Firebolt then I guess they would work. I can measure the space if needed.

I have them and can take some pictures if you want. I don't have them mounted on the bike though.

Hey Chris, If you are looking for a quick fix... you may want to head to State 8 and see what they have

If ya get the chance, post up on the WVBR3 Roll Call thread so I can keep a good count going....

yes some pics of the underside of the tail would be great and some bracket pics maybe??? i have a feeling this might be a real pain in the rear and should go with the cortechs what do you all thinks?

I had the cortech bags for years on my SV650S and they worked well and held up well.
