Luggage Rack

i like it... if those were not so expensive... we'd have a set. Looking to see how our first packed trip to SSITS goes, and by the end of that trip we will see if that price feels any better. Have looked at motorcycle superstore and found those bags an option as well.

Looks good @EjFord!

Nothing makes us ole ladies happier than our hubbys wanting us near...
We were looking at the saddlebag type that we could attach to the roll bars... its half the price for the slingmods... but... not being able to give it a once over before purchasing kinda leaves us wondering if the med size is sufficient and if the bags will rub on the paint...

@airoutlaw was looking at the bags last night, and I talked him out of it... Id like to see how a trip fares with the storage we got and save the dollars for another slingmod...lol packing light, and staying at a hotel with laundry facilities may just work. We shall see...

Picked up two of these Sedici bags at Cycle Gear for $111 each. Velcro straps make it impossible for the bags to slip and touch any of the painted surfaces. Bags are pretty roomy. The picture shows the top portion scrunched down, because I don't have the rain gear shoved in yet. My wife actually likes them more than me...and I LOVE them. (Especially the price)

thanks, will take a look at those... I think the ones airoutlaw looked at were $160 a piece...

I haven't had my bags loaded right up yet, but they are holding up well. Plus it fills in the back

looks good @Chubs, won't work with air wing... Gotta ask though, if you run into ran, mud or whatever.. what keeps your clothes from getting wet?

That would be a definite nope for me.... Not strapping luggage on top.. some ppl like Brussel Sprouts, some do not... Nope Nope...

Choices --- some times to many!!!!!!! And one good one says NO to some others.

Start out by making a list that contains some of the things you consider important. Once you start looking at the different luggage systems, you will be able to narrow down the list quite substantially. The big thing...do your homework, first!!!

I have covers for both sides, used them on my bike before, they work great

From www.Slingmods.com @Slingking posted a video of a new set of luggage racks from www.AlphaPowersport.com ...

This is a slide show --- hopefully it works....




Talked things over with Georgia (wife) and she is going to try to do some overnight
weekend 3/4 day rides. Going by my self would have enough space for 6 weeks,
but add the girls and we need a little more. Order a week ago and installed today.
And as I type this I realize that I should have done a couple of pics with the racks
off the bike and just the brackets on outside. Maybe tomorrow I'll update.
Looks better on my bike than Slingking's bike (his is a beautiful black but doesn't
show the rack.) Like the design and size. Couple of medium bags on rack.

When not in use the 'racks' come off and all you see is the bracket on the
roll bar.


Got some tweaking to do to figure it all out.

Carol & i like this rack
hope they will have it, and lots of them, at Maggie-Valley
for now we are going to use our TourMaster Cruiser III (large)Bags to get there - they worked great last year to & from SSITS-2015

AND if we like & have the extra $, we can put our backs on that swell looking rack 4 the ride home

Cycle Springs. Ask @Noel Hughes he can hook you up with what you need!

Thanks Kenny, really like the swing out bracket.

yep... it would suck if you had to unpack to gas up....swing out arm is a genius idea.
