Re:Bargains !!! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Awesome deals! Now, I am looking at bags on there that say they fit the roadstar 1700. Is it safe to assume they'll fit my 1600?

Re:Bargains !!! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
nasomi, they'll fit. The absolute best deal on bags is the saddleman xxjumbo desperado bags. The bags are huge and look great with our bikes. you can use them as throw over or mount them to ez brackets. Just my .02

Re:Bargains !!! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
My order shipped today! Hope the show chrome 4 1/2 light set is worth it seen alot of conflicting reviews but guess I will see. I was looking at the jumbo bags but with my kury passenger boards I think they will get in the way other than that heck of a deal on them.

Any luck on your order Shacky??

Re:Bargains !!! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
I really appreciate the tip! I got a Hopnel tank Tuxedo for $16! Also check out: MotorcycleCloseOuts.com. I got a FirstGear mesh textile armored pullover for $30 (lists for over $100)! I figured it would be less bulky & more comfortable than my Fieldshear armored mesh jacket. They have other great deals on all sorts of apparel. Check it out!

Re:Bargains !!! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
My order is in. Studded Highwayman Elite Slant Saddlebags @ 6"x11"x18" @ $49.00, The Tuxedo Ties @ $15.25, and saddlebag support brackets @ $38.99. Can't beat that. Looked for a jacket I liked, as well as a secondary helmet, but just wasn't finding them in my sizes. I didn't even see the desperado bags when I was rolling through. Oh well, sizes are near identical.

Re:Bargains !!! 2 Years, 7 Months ago  
Anyone own Saddlemen bags before? Just wondering if I should take the plunge. Bought some cheap ones from jafrum earlier this year and did not hold up very well.

Just don't want to buy another ok set and have spent about half what a nice yamaha set would cost.

Are they worth it? Price just seems to good to be true

Thanks
