Guest riverlife Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I'm looking to get some soft luggage and came across these: MotoCentric 0000 MotoCentric Mototrek Sport Saddlebags Black634160095430121626 The bags are shown on a VFR however it appears they grab rails have been removed and a rear seat cowl is installed. Do you think these would work still with the grab rails still installed and without a rear seat cowl? thanks, mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Jakobi Posted June 1, 2011 Member Contributer Share Posted June 1, 2011 The mounting system on these is identical to the Nelson-Rigg setup I have and there are no interference issues on my 5th gen. -Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ommata Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 Ditto with my Cortech Sport Saddle bags. No issues when mounted without the seat cowl and with the handles in place on my '03. In fact, I prefer them mounting them that way. No issues with heat from the stock exhaust either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawglet Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I can vouch for a quality product at least on the Motocentric bag. My Dad got a set of the crusier bags, nice, esp. considering the price. Seemed as though they were well thought out and held thier shape well. He was used to the look of his old saggy leather bags which were slightly larger and in turn returned the Motocentrics against my recommendation of seeing if he'd get used to the look of them as they would be much better than the old ones. They had several smaller pockets in addition to the main compartment vs. his leather bags only have the main compartment, all the small stuff rattles to the bottom and collects underneath the larger items.

Guest Posted June 1, 2011 Share Posted June 1, 2011 I have the Cortechs. No issues other than I don't leave on the seat cowl and I use my grab handles as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
