Uly Riders,

We now have another option for hard luggage for the Might Buellysses !

Very nicely thought out and very user friendly. I don't think you will break the latches on these. I especially like how clean the bike looks with the bags off.

Happy Trails.

It is nice no doubt but there is no way to mount a top box. Oh well its good to see more options for Uly riders. I felt like there were no options when I was looking 3-4 months ago, Touratech, or Buell basically. I went with the Buell stuff finally.

He used my Uly for the final fitment. I must say, the whole system is quite impressive, up close and personal. The only reason I wouldn't consider it is... I already have the Buell bags and double expenditure would cause a relational network outage at the home office, if you take my meaning.

You will NOT break any of the stock latches. You'll break the bike first.

Very first-rate workmanship, clean looking when bags removed. Top value on the Chili-meter!

Photoshop is a beautiful thing....

The nice part about the Caribou bits is that they are uber tough. Parts are readily available, in case, say, you go playing hockey with your Uly.

I really like the Caribou bags. They're super tough and look good. They're also cheaper than the Hepco&Becker bags.
Hmmm; Tougher, stronger and cheaper-I know which bags I'd be putting on my Uly if I were buying one today.

...anyone who has a set, feel free to chime in - how do they affect the CG, weight, etc of the motorcycle when they are on? I can ride the bike fine, but as it is, I'm sort of on the edge of the envelope when it comes to inseam.

Old_Mil,

How are the Caribous with 2-Up riding? Does the passenger have plenty of room?
