I have the Firebolt specific bags on my XB9R and really like them. Hold enough for a day while fitting really well and look good. They are NOT waterproof if that is a requirement. After a few years the zippers are still intact and the bags have retained their shape. Not bad for 150.00. |

You can get the trunk bag to go with them. Comes on and off easy. |

Best to get a small amount of sheepskin to place between the bag and the tail section. The bags have rubbed big dents in the plastics of my 12R. |

Your best bet is to go with Cortech. I found my Buell bags to be lacking in size, and durability and got rid of them within a year. Poor mounting, poor weather resistance, and SMALL size. Get something you can stuff at least 4 days of stuff into. |
