Finally got it registered and inspected in PA all legal now. Got my back trunk installed. Looking for any info on saddlebags for TBR7?
Thanks

Depends on what kind of bags you want. Soft bags will be much easier to mount and make work. Hard panniers will be more durable, but require sturdy mounting points.

soft bags...
don't dent/brake or bend out of shape
so the lid no longer fits..
when yer drop the bike just un clip them
pick the bike up put back on...
no need to pick your gear weight up
with the bike weight as well..

I like the green. You can pull your fork boots up to the reflector, and you can swap your mirrors side to side so they'll be more horizontal. How did you mount the trunk base? Mcfailbutter just mounted his yesterday.

It mounted right on luggage rack. shimmed the rack with washers for a little height to clear mounting bolts.

Do you have the stock exhaust with a heat shield? Shouldn't be a problem.
