divotdm Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Hi, new here, first post. Just picked up an 05 last week. Getting it ready for spring. Did the LSL conversion last weekend. While looking for hard saddlebags, I ran across these on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mutazu-Black-Hard-Pannier-Saddlebag-For-02-09-Honda-VFR800-VRF-800-Interceptor-/390985325561?hash=item5b088a9bf9:g:lOAAAOxy69JTAt5j&vxp=mtr $700 for bags and brackets. A little more than V35s, but much less than OEMs/ brackets. I have searched but can find no info on these bags. Look identical to the Honda's. Anybody have any info on them? Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer 3dcycle Posted February 16, 2016 Member Contributer Share Posted February 16, 2016 I run these on my bikehttp://www.ebay.com/itm/like/291401472572?ul_noapp=true&chn=ps&lpid=82you should look into them they use either their own mounts but will fit on givi mounts as well. that is the set up I have. http://i173.photobucket.com/albums/w73/3dcycle/02800/IMG_0920.jpgas you can see you don't need the grab handles mounted with these, unlike the oem, I have had mine for a while now but I have less than $500 into the setup.

Iakona Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 I'm going to second the plug for davidsilverspares. I ordered panniers from them last Tuesday, they made it to my house by Thursday. Included all of the mounting equipment, extra keys(both cases matched) and all of the instructions and whatnot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellowgold Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 These are very tempting but it appears they don't have them listed for any years before 2005.

Iakona Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Winning red and italian red aren't the same, but they're pretty close. That said I'll probably plasti-dip my panniers to match the rest of my fairings anyway. http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/80473-italian-red-and-winning-red-how-close/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iakona Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Mine don't, but what Conedodger says is definitely true. I think it's really dependent on what stock they have on hand when orders are made. Side note, what windscreen do you have Conedodger? It looks pretty interesting.

divotdm Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 UPDATE After countless hours of searching and research, I just pulled the trigger on a set of panniers, brackets, and soft bag liners. Ordered Shad SH36 bags with liners and the 3P brackets. All for under $500 shipped. The Give v35s were just too expensive and couldn't find any used. The OEM bags were good but I didn't want to paint the whole bag to match. Thanks, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marriedman Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Not a fan of Shad products from past experiences, but those are some damn nice looking cases! Make sure and post some pictures once you get them mounted please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make sure and post some pictures once you get them mounted please. I've always had the Givi V35s before so was a little hesitant with the Shads but the cost savings, they look really nice (in pictures), and the mounting system convinced me to take the plunge. When they show I'll do an install/ review thread with lots of pics. Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
