Saddle Bags ?

[Zimmerman]

Do you guys use saddle bags on your Scooters ?

If so what ones do you like ?

They're not something that I would use often, but during the summer I'll be taking a few soother trips.
They could be as long as a week, so the extra storage would be handy.


Here's one type:

Looks like a good idea. I have some old bicycle panniers that I could rig up like this.  That dude sure needed a lot of TP!

Walmart has these. I was thinking of getting a set.

Not sure if they'll be too wide on the scooter?

[Pimpy1]

hard to tell.  I like how they come with rain covers.

[Zimmerman]

Pimp,

I know - I was laughing my butt off about the toilet paper!

I mean, ok, toilet paper is just a fact of life, etc - but if I was making a movie I don't think I would have it play a prominate roll. (Pun intended!)

Anyway . . . I'll try to act my age rather than my shoe size.

The seat cover - saddle bags.  I did like them.  I liked that they could roll up.  I liked the seat cover because I don't like my Yager seat.  That cover would allow me to experiment by putting foam under the cover.

On the other hand - I don't like the cover because I can't just remove the whole saddle bag assembly and take it inside with me.  There are other saddle bags that just have two straps that you lock under the seat.  That system allows you to remove the whole thing in seconds.

This really isn't that big a deal, as I would probably have bags inside the saddle bags.

Randy,

Those bags could work - I'd want to see them in person @ my local StuffMart.

I have a "luggage carrier" on the back of my peoples 200 which I have a bag velgrowed to the rack. I'd say it's about 1.5 cubic ft of space at best but it holds all I've ever needed so far.

Check out these saddlebags-

$43.00 in Black/ $10 in Purple.

If you can handle purple, they are a great deal!

If you look at the purple bags then hit the "Previous Product" link just below the image. Nice!!

Here is an Amazon link to those same bags - the black is cheaper here.

Pimp,

Good find on the purple bags for $10 !

I bought a set for my wife.
We'll see how we like them.

I'm not sure which saddlebags I'll go with for myself.

Wow can't go wrong for $10 and they "The two large compartments hold 24 - 12 oz. cans and ice"
Double bonus! I guess the black ones are for normal stuff...Hehe

[fshfindr]

They look good but I can't the purple.  Not sure I want saddle bags or top box so I have nothing.

How about some cool looking vintage saddle bags?

[Zimmerman]

Yep, I'm not cool enough to get away with the Purple - but they're great for my wife.

Vintage would be good - have you seen any?

Post a link.

  If your scoot has a narrow rear end and hard bags from the manufacturer they look good.
A wide rear and wide bags looks silly. The small ones aren't really worth much though I
had some cheapo leather ones on a Virago 250 once and they held anything I wanted to
put in them.

  The purple are cheap but they'd clash with my bike I'm afraid. I picked up those leather
ones on the bargain table at a local dealer for $50. That's why we ride to visit bike dealers!
