Passenger Seat & Saddle Bags - any suggestions?

[hihosilver28]

Good evening fellow Rykers! I'm in the process of pricing out a Ryker and wanted your advice.
My wife will occasionally be riding with me and I will need storage options. I'm thinking of getting the folding passenger seat and saddle bags.
Do you have any suggestions about saddle bags? Should I purchase the saddlebag rack from the dealership and then saddlebags from another site? Or simply buy everything from another site altogether?

Thanks in advance.
I'm looking forward to getting out there on the roads soon!

As far as i know, the only saddlebags the dealer sells will be the one side bag. The other option is The 3 bag system that slingmods sells. Other then those two option, I think everyone else here has fabricated their own racks for other saddlebags options.

Thanks for the reply. I actually watched your video and was very impressed with the creativity to make it work for you. Based on what I was reading in the threads, I knew about the slingmods, but was wondering if anything else had been developed. Sounds like not much in that department...

I think I'll wait on the Slingmods package. It's a little pricey for me right now as I'm just getting started. Thanks again for the advice.
