Been looking at alternatives for storage capacity/touring other than what Buell offers on their website. Went to GIVI and others. Any suggestions for hard saddlebags? Thanks for the advice...

Its a custom fit operation only. None of the standard XB's, R or S have hard bag offerings. Even the "hardside" bags listed on Buell's site are just stiffened fabric bags.

Mckennaxb12r,
My 0.02. Givi Monokey cases are possible. They are of good quality, seal well, fairly light and the mounting is such that they can be a side or top case. Plus they have a wide variety of sizes. True you'd have to have mounting brackets custom made.

I'm kicking around the idea on making a detachable 3 case setup for my XB12X (if it ever gets here). Just have to find a welder that is good welding aluminum.

Cheers

Roc made some brackets up for his Firebolt:

And Coldwthrrider did some up as well:

Cruisin and everyone. Thanks for the advice and photo. Still searching and it's a shame Buell doesn't manufacture a set-up for the other models nor does an aftermarket company. Atypical Buell with Buell....Thanks again everyone!
