• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Nelson-Rigg CL950 Deluxe Saddlebags

When mounting them further back, do both velcro straps still go under the seat?

Not as secure, but is there a way to mount them with the straps "over" the seat? I only ask because I like a much further back position than what you have shown.

TIA

We had ours covering the turnsignals and the straps still worked fine under the seat. You must adjust the length of the post on the seat latch to make it longer to compensate for the thickness of the straps. I tried it without adjusting the seat latch, and had to slam the seat down, and then had to slam my fist on the seat while actuating the key to get the seat to pop up.
 
Would any of the CL series work on the Spyder? Which ones have the most storage room? With a passenger as well...

So enjoy and Cheers!

Does anyone know if the CL-950/1000 will fit with the Two Brothers dual exhaust?

If the dual exhaust comes up much higher than the rear foot pegs, I am not sure. The 950's have the curve and alumishied to protect them from the exhaust, but I am still would not want the bag sitting within an inch or two of it. I have not seen the dual set up so don't have anything to compare it with.

Patches posted above on how they can work with a passenger. Their legs will ride against them, but perhaps that could be mitigated with the extensions for the passenger pegs. :dontknow:
 
Yeap, I have to mount them on later today as I have softball practice and put my stuff in the bags. I rarely ride with them on unless I have a passenger or going on a trip for more than 2 days. Angie rides on the back typically when I am gone that long. She has riden back there with the bags for over 8 hours of riding a day on long trips with no problems. I would think the passenger externsion would much improve the useablity of these type bags but Angie is not able to reach the pegs if I extend them without sitting on my back, she is only 5ft. Will post a picture later but I have had these bags for almost 2 years now with no problems. I don't leave them on as they are not the most appealing thing in the world but they get me to point A->B with my stuff dry.
One key part, looking at the picture provided, I move BOTH straps on the inside of the handle grips and my bags go on top of my read turn lights and not in front of them. I think there is great risk for the lights to come off with a passenger pushing the bags back against the lights rather the bags resting on the outside of the lights. Hope that makes sense but this is the only way the bags will go back far enough to make them usefull with a passenger without the weight of the bags resting on the bag of thier legs.
I am going to purchase a light kit to make these light more flush to the body anyway, I think they look a bit silly sticking out the way they do now, like be ears. Great people can see them but I have enough other lights on there now that I am not too concerned with it now.
 
Can't wait to see a picture with both saddlebag straps going through the handgrips.

I'm not sure I understand the "on top" of the rear lights. But I do definitely understand that a passenger's leg would be pusshing the bags back into the lights if the bags aren't high enough or far enough back.

Aesthetically, I think the bags would look better farther up and back too.

TIA for taking the time to post a picture of how you have the bags mounted.
 
Speaking of N-R bags...

(see, now that I said that, it doesn't count as a hijack)

has anybody bought the tank bag from Nelson Rigg? I love the quality and customer service on everything I ever got from them:

I have been thinking about getting one of these bags as well, but haven't done so yet. We currently have the BRP tank bag for my wife's Spyder and she likes it a lot. I would like to get one of these and see how it compares, especially since we like the saddle bags so well.

I will post a review if/when I get one, but if anybody already has it or gets it before me then let us know about it.

I have to admit that I did not show her any other styles. I figured with the trunk, rear seat bag, console bag, and these saddlebags, she should have plenty of storage for her stuff. ;)

Congratulations on your recent marriage. Surely, you must be a newlywed.........

I showed my Spyder off to my riding group. Even OTHER guy's wives want to stuff things in the front trunk when we go shopping.

Actually, we just celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary yesterday. :D

Over the years I have learned the less options you give, the better the chance for a successful solution. Of course, your mileage may vary.
 
I have to say that I ordered these bags on your recommendation and based on your pictures and I love them. I have yet to fully utilize them and I feel like I have plenty of carrying capacity now.

The only complaint I had was getting the stiffener things in so that they don't just collapse. That sucked a lot. It took me a good couple hours to do all three bags (I also bought the roll bag for the passenger seat, since I ride alone) and I was -so- sore afterward. Holy cow.

However, they look fantastic and as I said -- plenty of room to carry whatever.
