RS soft saddlebags that work with passengers

[Squanchkava72]

Anyone have recommendations for soft saddlebags for the RS that don't interfere with the passenger's feet on the pegs. I was thinking maybe the Nelson Riggs CL-890 but possibly having to install them backwards.

Which model do you have on your Spyder? Any pics. Thanks

As I'm guessing you've already worked out that the problem with the RS is that the rear turn-signals are just where most bags want to hang.

I tried several at various shops but couldn't find anything that did the job well. I ended up a set of Givi EA101's these were ok but still a bit of a compromise as they still sat forward and pressed against the pillions calves, thought at least they could use the foot pegs. In the end I removed the turn signals and mounted some led ones further back to make more room. The Velcro straps did mean I could run the straps under the seat, which meant it was secure and more comfortable for the pillion.

The rain covers on the Givi's are not much cop as the internal waterproof rubber coating wears off against the bags after a while.

Sorry only pic I've got of the Givi's is with the rain cover on and after I changed the turn signals:

Here's where I positioned the turn signals to make more room. You may want to just consider doing something similar and that will give you more choice on the luggage you can get:

What brand and model tank bag do you have? It looks roomy. Did it take much rigging/modding to work on a Spyder.

Those pics of a large RKA tank bags on Spyder might be all I need. I have a rear hard case mounted that is loaded with stuff for my side job and not much room left in that. But in the warm months I will pick up my son from the YMCA summer camp and need to keep his helmet and riding gear in my Frunk. So a larger tank bag would let me relocate the essential in case I break down stuff I have in the frunk. I bought the Nelson Riggs tank bag thinking that was the only one that worked with the RS.
