Guys with luggage (hard or soft) step inside

I'm looking for some pics of hard and soft luggage for the FZ6. I can't decide which way to go and the photos would be a great help.

If you could include manufacturer, cost and where you got them it would be very helpful as well.

Thanks

The Mart Man

Here is my Givi E52 setup. The case ran $291 and the rack was $145. I've had it for a couple weeks and love it.

Re: Guys with luggage (hard or soft) step inside

I have Cortech Sport Saddlebags
They are about $116 USD, expandable and secure. The included raincovers work well for 200 miles until they fall apart. The bags are heavy duty though -- no worries there. I would love to have a set of hard cases, but I just can't justify the expense yet. As a matter of fact I talked the dealer in to throwing these in when I bought my bike

On my bike (they look better when not expanded and weighted down with a ton of gear)

Re: Guys with luggage (hard or soft) step inside

I dont have any pics but last night i got some soft cortech saddlebags for FREE!!! I will have a chance to test them out later today when i get off work, but so far so good. The best part is my boss had them in his garage for the past 2 years and never even installed them.

Cortech saddles Oxford tank/tail bag, check with Fz6inNH he has the three combo of Cortech, and is quite experienced with them, also I have a Corbin as well, much better than stock but too expensive.

Re: Guys with luggage (hard or soft) step inside

I installed Givi V35's a couple of weeks ago. They were purchased here Givi Monokey V35 motorcycle side case, luggage, hard cases

They did not charge for shipping and they arrived in about a week and a half.

Here is a link to some pictures.

Hope this helps,

Re: Guys with luggage (hard or soft) step inside

Hey guys, thanks for the input. I really like the looks of the hard cases, but the price may cause me to go with the soft bags. One thing I'm noticing is that our under seat exhaust doesn't seem to allow for larger bags. The manufactures look like they've angled the bags to clear normal exhaust systems which our bikes don't have. I guess we loose out on storage for the sake of versatility on different bikes.
