PapaK Posted May 21 Posted May 21 How rare are 5th gen Corbin saddlebags? How much could one ask for them? Quote
Member Contributer VFRpilotDave Posted May 22 Member Contributer Posted May 22 I had the Corbin Beetle Bags on my 98 when I had it during the early 2000’s. Even back then they were expensive! Quote
PapaK Posted May 23 Author Posted May 23 I plan on putting up the bike for sale today. If I receive a high enough offer for the bags alone, I'll sell them separately since I have yet to find a 5th gen VFR on sale with them. 1 Quote
Member Contributer vfrcapn Posted May 23 Member Contributer Posted May 23 They were in the $700-$800 range when first available but doubled in price by the time they stopped selling them. A few have sold over on vfrworld recently in the $400-$500 range. Quote

A few have sold over on vfrworld recently in the $400-$500 range. I saw a pair of yellow ones like 4 years ago on Ebay for $800. Someone bought them. At this moment, I can't find any on sale. Quote

Member Contributer Hingley Posted May 24 Member Contributer Posted May 24 Corbin made these for a short time, but even up here there are a few kicking around, I just had to buy the bike to get a set 🙂 they made them for the 1998-2001 VFR800 but I did see one set for a 1994-1997 VFR750, once they also made a set for the VTR1000 and others but I have never seen a listing of the different models from Corbin I also believe they made a set for the 2002- ????? VFR800 but they have got to be the strangest looking hard bag I have seen Just be sure that if you are looking for a set that the original brackets are with the bags, I have seen three of four sets of bags for sale but had no brackets with them and by the look of the brackets unless you are a good fabricator pass on the bags or get them real cheap because it will take a lot of time to mock up a set of brackets. Attached is the only copy of the mount instructions I have ever found, thanks to a fellow VFRer enjoy the hunt. 1 Quote
Member Contributer MBrane Posted May 24 Member Contributer Posted May 24 If you tend to ride bumpy roads the stock Corbin mounts will need repairs. They aren't very robust. Don't count on Corbin for help either they want nothing to do with any of their discontinued products. Quote
