I've seen a couple of XB's with these bags:





1. Who makes them?
2. What's the size and load capacity?
3. What does the rack look like when they're off the bike?
4. Are they waterproof?
5. Is there a good topcase solution that works with them?

Any info would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil.

Hepco Becker Juniors. The one with the swish is called Flash, I think. They are the same as the Police XB12XT bags.

I have a pair on my Uly, nice bags!

I don't know the exact size but I'm pretty sure all the specs are on the h&b site. I have them on my XP with the regular stock topcase that came with the XTs (journey?) H&b makes a matching topcase I believe in 2 different sizes that has the same rough texture. Mine have been waterproof and the rack looks very similar to the XT rack but moved either forward of back a bit I can't remember which. They're nice cases. Not really bombproof but they hold alot more then you would expect.

The mounts are more to the rear as well as the lock being in back.

I am thinking about getting a set, the large saddlebags are 40L which are 2 less then the Leaky Journeys I have but the Large Top case is 55L which is 15 liters larger then the Journey and better looking in my opinion.

The parts book lists the racks and the side racks with support cross bar is under $300 from Surdyke.

I am planning on upgrading my racks and bags before Summer.

Syscrush, you should know that the racks pictured on the bikes above is a 3rd party bracket made by Hepco and Becker to fit standard XB9/12 S/SCG/SX models, while some of the postings above were talking about Ulysses racks which will not fit.

The pictured rack will fit most if not all H&B bags without any fitment issues, and as said above the bags shown here are part the H&B Junior series.

I happened to take a couple pics of Whatever's bracketry when she paid me a visit a couple of years back. As Froggy mentioned, these are NOT standard Uly racks.

Brackets 1


Brackets 2


Brackets 3


Hopefully these will help,
