My winter project was swapping to a Firebolt tail.

Now I'm looking for someone who wants to trade saddle bags. I have a nice set of XB Lightning bags and looking to trade strait up with someone who has a set of Firebolt bags and brackets.

I will consider selling the Lightning bags, but prefer to trade first.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Toona,

have you tried fitting the lightning bags to the firebolt?

If you can't find anyone to trade, I'd be interested in hearing your price for the bags, Thanks,
Matt

Just so happens I purchased a R for a race bike conversion that came with saddle bags.
I don't need them. My wife wants a set for her S. What condition are yours in? The one I got are like new and I have 3 brackets that came with them. No instructions though.
Interested? Let me know.

Rocketsprink, My bags are in super nice condition, I picked them up used off of eBay. But all the velcro is nice and there are no marks on the bags. I don't think I've ever used them in the expanded "state".

I will get some pictures on Monday.

Thanks!

Edm, from what I have researched, there are differences in the bags:
The Lightning bags have "receptacles" on top for the trunk bags, the Firebolt bags don't.

The Firebolt bags have accessory brackets, I'm guessing to keep the bags from rubbing on the Firebolt tail plastic.

I will "install" the Lightning bags on the Firebolt tail, but I'm pretty sure the mounting straps would rub the plastic tail. I'm not sure if one tail is wider than the other.

I believe interior dimensions/capacity of the bags are the same.

Not a problem. If they look good, and I trust you when you say they do, we'll have to set up shipping arrangements.

Ahhh I see thanks Toona the reason I ask is I have a set of the Lightning bags as well, but now have a Firebolt just like you. The bags are in storage and I just bought the bike, I never thought that the bags might not fit...I may be looking for the same trade as you lol...
