cbwheels Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Since Corbin won't answer, what is the size of the opening on these bags? From pictures, it looks like they won't accomodate helmets??? :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobicus Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 You are correct. You can't fit a helmet in them. You can, however, fit a ton of stuff in them, including a gallon of milk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dion Posted June 18, 2004 Share Posted June 18, 2004 Unless your a harley rider :razz: Honestly, they're ok for overnight or maybe a weekend and they do look good but you'll need a tank bag any maybe a tail bag for an extended stay. you have to empty them to remove them. If you want capacity and convienience go with givi. if you want style and adequate capacity go with the beetles. Or, go with the beetles for your road gear and a givi top case for clothes.

Kbird Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 The Beetle Bags openings 6.5 inches wide by aprox 12inches in length and somewhat triangular in shape. I took a 7 day trip and packed everything I needed in them. I'm a true beliver in the more room I have for packing the more I will take, so I just learned to take less items, jeans, socks, t-shirts, electric vest, some tools is about all I take on trips now. No way can you fit a helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobicus Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 The other part that sucks is that with the bags on, you can't use your helmet locks, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbwheels Posted June 19, 2004 Author Share Posted June 19, 2004 Thanks for all the info...capacity wise and looks wise they seem okay, I've seen the mod of eliminating the cut-out for the stock turn-signals. That looks a lot better, but hey, the bags are made of glass, so maybe I'll try to custom fab a set of bags this winter that could do it all.!............

SwampNut Posted June 19, 2004 Share Posted June 19, 2004 Each bag will accomodate an 18-pack of beer cans but you have to take out the top 6 and put them on the sides of the pack. They are great as far as looks, but you have to live with restrictions. Because of the shape you can only get soft/moldable/small items to fill up the space. I use canvas bags in them so I can pull out my stuff on overnighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XXMAN Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I think it's 23.5 liters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
