Saddlebags for V-max 1200

[jack6109518]

Hey fellas.

I just got my 2006 V-max last month (freakin' love it!) and wanted to know if you have any suggestions for good saddlebags. They don't have to be big just something to put a couple tools, sunglasses, phone, wallet, shirt, hat, etc. in.

Thank you.

I decided on a roll bag on a luggage rack.

It holds what I need for a day ride, even during rallies when it rains.

My 07, rear turn signal relocate, modified a couple brackets out of flat bar and add any size bags you want. Modified the rear backrest to accommodate a T bag for trips and knapsack for lunch and things for daily driver to work.

Looks good, and lots of space in those bags! I have Saddleman top bag, and it's enough for short trips in and out of town, now with a DIY rack I made. And I can put the second one, smaller, on the passenger seat if traveling solo. But that's not enough to securely store 2 full modular helmets. And here, leaving soft bags when parking is not secure - lots of opportunistic thieves in Vancouver, but also when you park the bike to go hiking. So, I planning a longer trip alone with stops for sightseeing, I will get hard bags.

The top I think will be Kappa Monokey K56n for long trips, and something smaller like around 35 - 46 liters for daily riding. I'm not decided yet on the saddlebags, but also in the 35-40 liters range.
