David James Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I'm thinking of going to a set of beetle bags for my 03 XX. Does anyone have any feedback on these things ... are they great, are they a good / poor storage system ( i.e. odd interior shape ), do they leak, are they worth the money. Any feedback would be great. Cheers, Dave 2003 XX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBLXXTC Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 i have em'....love em'....but i paid over 1K for them so i better love them or else the thought of spending that kind of dough would make me sick...i left my bike out one night and it rained kind of hard and there was water on the inside of one...but the fit and finish are perfect...would i do it again...YES! but i might wait a little longer on some used ones off of e-bay...

HK33K Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I got a set from a member here. I love them. They have stayed dry in massive storms and while washing the bike. The only bitch is I wish the top opening was an inch longer. They will not hold a helmet, unless it's a half shell. They will hold a size 56 leather jacket with armor in one side and size 40 leather pants in the other with room to spare. Each side can also hold 2X1 gallon milk jugs or 3X2 liter soda bottles or a twelve pack and ice. On the more practical side I can fit an AKS74U + Glock 17 and 6 spare mags in one side and 30X30 round AK74 mags in the other. :shock: Pat 0-1-25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaserkeywest Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Beetle Bags are going on my Bird spring 06! Smaller than other options, I want them to be smaller. They fit the Bike without looking like a Rhino. They are big enough that with a tail bag, I'm on the way to anywhere! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John01XX Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Did you make out OK with the Hurricane ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaserkeywest Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Ya John, went to Homestead again for 3 days and came back to yard mess for the 3rd time in 6 weeks. Katrina was worse for us because it parked for 8 hours just north of Key West and dumped alot of rain and wind. Were sick of hurricane dodging but gratefull at the same time that we didnt get smashed.........yet! How U doin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
