Been looking at all sorts of saddle bags & I Reckon the Busa Is a bit Wide for saddle Bags & to get them sitting level & not touching bodywork ,You End up with a bike that is 4 FT PLUS Wide & a bit impractical . There are some good luggage manufacturer's in the USA who have a great range of Tail & Sissybar type bags which carry as much as saddle bags but keep the width down a bit .Worth a look on USA Ebay as well .

Did`nt think about the width.they have sorter a big ass end.
Might think about making a base that clips into the hump/seat brackets.And just make an up right rear bag.Then make it hold the hump in top of bag.Refit when you get to your destination.Only good for oneup.

Hey Grant, I was close to buying the hard bags from pashnit too but ended up going the dry rider bag on the back rack instead and a tank bag. Would be good to have the added security with the hard bags thou. Chris
