Soft saddle bag recommendations

[Cyborg]

Could one of you kind fellows recommend some soft bags for the 2001 V11 Sport? Don't have to be fancy, just fit well and not require a second mortgage. A recommended source or a link to a recommended source would be appreciated.

I love my Tekno panniers

 

I wish they fit further forward (I don't carry passengers), and the later generation racks and bags are better built

Cortech Sport bags work OK for me.  There's a pic of them on my bike here if you're interested.

"The passenger" is the main reason why I need the bags.

Plus 1 on the Tekno bags, I can pick up the rear of the bike using the brackets.

My bags are pretty faded though, any good fix for that?

Several years back at a Spine Raid, I remarked at a guy's new-looking Teknos.

 

"Krylon satin black," says he. Since then, I scrub mine and *dust* them with a satin black spray paint every couple years. Works pretty decent!

Haven't had any luck finding any. Could you recommend a source?

Thanks

Nelson Rigg. Probably the best bang for the buck.

 

Close second is Ogio.

Wow - those are both great companies with excellent products.

 

Any pics of those mounted to a V11?

Ventura rack system works well on the V11

Has anyone out there tried fitting the Nelson Rigg CL-950 bags?

Decided to take a chance. Ordered Nelson Rigg CL 2020 tank bag and CL 950 bags all for $188.00.

Will post photos when they arrive if anyone is interested. If the bags don't fit, maybe I can convince the bride that they are supposed to be worn like wester gun holsters. She normally has a good sense of humour, so I may survive.

i used to have cortech bags on my 2003 lemans and they fit nice and cost less than $150...probably still cost less than $200 on www.revzilla.com.  The key is to mount the cross strap under the seat not over.

I saw these while surfing the web for V11 luggage.  Are these an older style Cortech ?  I don't see ones like this from them now.   I thought they looked good and functional too --

yes those were the older ones.  The new ones look similar but a little bigger.
