Full Version: Beetle bags and undertail...

If you put Beetle bags on a bike that has an undertail that eliminated the stock turn signals and cut the stock monstrosity that was hanging down in back... do the bags look funny?

Anyone have any pictures of what it looks like?

I've wondered the exact same thing. I think I'm going to order the Honda euro bags just to be safe.

Yea, they have an empty cutout where the turn signals used to be.

You can do what Carlos did, have a fiberglass guy cut out and remove them. I think he even integrated the turn signals directly into the bags.

I'd forgotten that. There used to be pictures of that on the cbr1100xx.org site, way back. Anyone know where (or if) they are now?

Something along those lines was what I was thinking, as well.

Aren't those just Givi bags? They look very similar.

www.davidsilverspares.co.uk is where I found the factory bags.
I got a quote of 555.00 British Pound Sterling, shipped to my home near Atlanta GA. About $1000.00 as I recall with shipping.

Found them under the Genuine Spares heading.

Hey Warchild, can you set up a group buy on these??

If we can set up a group buy and get a discount and I can get them in black to match my '03, I'm in.
The order page on this site only lists silver, unless I missed an option somewhere.

You guys might want to check this install out for those bags.
I think when the bags are off the bike you are left with a ugly hardware
frame that the Euro guys were complaning about.

I'm not sure that these are the bags in question, just wanted to throw this in the soup.

They look very similar to the factory VFR bags to me.

I'd take a guess they are the Interceptor's bags.

I'd be somewhat interested in a group buy if the mounting hardware wasn't unsightly.
