I am wonder if any one has any experience with mounting saddle bags on a STS other than the stock BRP ones?

Fyi a bud mounted some for his wife. got them off E bay. But. Here is the link to the actual store they come from. http://m.siriusconinc.com/products-detail.php?product_id=6870 The saddle bag part no - 56-9991. The mount bracket part no 16-2933. These are for her 2013 STS. You need to make sure of correct parts for his Model. Look good enough & they are quite happy. Fyi he is a mechaic by trade. Sorry no pic, would turn upsidedown anyway:gaah:

I just installed some Corbin Fleetliner bags on my ST Limited. I really like them. What do you want to know?

The Corbin bags take a longtime to order because they make everything from scratch, even the mounting hardware. They paint them for you to match your spyder.
Installing them is not easy though. Allow yourself a long weekend to devote to the install. The instructions are not really that clear and you may have to make a trip to the hardware store to buy a few nuts and bolts that they did not include.

I think that they'll load as long as they're less than 2 MB... :thumbup:

That is soooo sweet! I have had corbin bags on 2 of my previous bikes and loved them. I hear there are some quality control issues now, but this look makes it worth taking a chance. Very nice.

They did have a problem with some of the machinery but that has been fixed.

How long did it take you to get them? I am thinking about ording corbin's for my STS also.

They say it takes 4 to 6 weeks but they had a machine break down and they take 3 weeks off for the Holidays. That really delayed it. I still have not got my Smuggler and seat. They told me there was a problem with the smuggler. I thought it was a paint problem but the other day I called and they said it would take 2 more weeks. Im thinking they had to make another one. The seat is done, but I would need them both at the same time to install them. The smuggler takes the place of the rear seat. Either way I am not mad or impatient. I just want them to have it right whenever it gets here. I can run my stock seat till then.

If you get the Fleetliner I would advise to remove all the hardware that goes with the givi bags if you have those like I did. I had a member here contact me to buy them without me ever posting them for sale. I had to take it all apart again to get the parts to make a complete set to send him.

I don't have any bags on mine at present. Just trying to decide which to go with :)

Being able to remove bags as luggage has been really handy on my trips. The corbins look great. To each their own:popcorn::thumbup:. Couple members have added other style givi bags to the F3 that offer more room fyihttp://www.spyderlovers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=123794&stc=1. Worth looking into. nojoke

I just added that to whoever gets the Corbins because their directions only say to remove what is necessary to do the install. There are 3 front brackets that need to also come off to make the Givi set complete for resale.

Installation on a STS would be a lot easier because alot of the instructions on the ST Limited focus on removing the Givi bags hardware. Most of the instructions focus on installing the Hardware which includes relocating the rear turn signals. Once that is done, putting on the bags is just gravy.

Thats when I ordered mine too. Middle of November, I got the Fleetiner bags a little over a week ago and am still waiting for the rest of the order.

Umm maybe it was a little over 2 weeks ago.. oh well time flies when your having fun and getting older.
