Title: Motogear Saddle Bags quick review....pic heavy
Post by: offcamber on June 29, 2010, 10:49:45 AM
I ordered a set of these about a month ago for about $50 Amazons price has been steadily creeping up on these and is currently about $70. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000RN4FK6/ref=oss_product

They were back ordered and I just got them in today. Below are some shots of them mounted on my 97 GS500.

Over all a pretty good deal for the money. They fit the GS pretty good..and have enough room to carry extra items you might need on a long ride or trip to the store. Notice in the last pic the key inside to give some scale.

I haven't actually ridden with them on yet. I'll report back any issues although I don't anticipate any.

They're on backwards. They angle up at the rear for additional clearance on sport type bikes. Zipper should be at the rear  8)

I got a set of those a while ago off Walmarts website, not bad for the price.  I don't see them offered anymore but they do still have the tank bag:  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Classic-Accessories-Motorcycle-Tank-Bag/10802876

For the money They are well worth it.  Especially since I paid only $50 for them. Not sure why Amazon keeps bumping the price. I may order the trunk bag that attaches to these....not sure I need that much cargo capacity though.
