Nice Alternative To Hard Bags

[Tripod]

I have a Valkyrie trike and my '08 Spyder. For big loads and long hauls the trike is like a truck. I've always thought of the Spyder as my "sports car".
I've been reluctant to put hard bags on it because I like the stripped down look of it. We'll, I'm wanting to do some touring with the Spyder so I spotted something that will solve my baggage delimma. I bought the CL-950 soft bags from Nelson-Rigg. They are flat awesome. They fit across my Corbin rear seat perfectly. They are extremely well made and thought out. And, with the BRP rear seat bag, I can carry a lot...except a passenger, that's where the trike comes in.

Check out Nelson-Rigg

Happy Motoring,

Tripod :thumbup:

I would actually like to see what they look like on the spyder and since you have already put yours on can you post a pic?? I am going to order a set but I'm thinking that the CL-850 would be better HOWEVER I don't want a HUGE BIG BULKY soft bag out there.. What do you think? Again, if you could send a picture of what it looks like on the spyder that will help my decition.. Thanks for posting brtoher, much need post..

I actually just bought the Nelson Rigg CL-900 bags. I love them! It took some arranging to get it to where a passenger could still ride, but other than that...very easy installation. I also got the Mini Tail bag to put of the back. (My Dad made fun of me because he said I should be able to store enough for a 2 day trip in my trunk alone...lol) :ohyea:

Here is the link to my thread with the review and photos of the CL-950's.

Hey, Andy

Could you do me a favor and post a photo of your CL-900 bags installed?

I actually had their larger bags and sold them. I ran the extender straps under the seat, but they hung low and blocked the signals. Maybe the smaller ones will do for me and the lovely bride...

Highly recommended! :2thumbs:
