Saddlebags on a Street Triple?

[01xj]

Ogio makes nice stuff, just keep in mind that 30 litres of storage isn't much bigger than a tankbag hanging off the rear end. Only reason I say that is because when I purchased the Blaze system (the one I posted for you to check out) I was disappointed with how much they realistically held.

Commuting you shouldn't have a problem but I had trouble packing for 3 nights with my g/f into both saddlebags. We were down to the bare bones for supplies.

Good to know thanks. It's really just for a bit of clothes that I need to bring back and forth from school. I usually am pretty good with keeping seasonal stuff in one place so I don't have to transport it, and thankfully I can leave all of my big item stuff here for a long term. I'm figuring the saddlebags, tailbag, and backpack should be enough but we'll see. I could always strap a small bag under the tail too if need be.

Sounds like you should be in good shape. This was my first time ordering bags so for me it was interesting to see what 42 liters of storage physically equated to.

You woman.
Some how me and the woman packed enough and still had some room in my bags. And when we got home a day and a half after y'all I still had some clean stuff left.

You guys went home, we went camping for another 3 days!

Oh and I forgot to mention, since I don't use my rear pegs if I need some sort of support bracket for the tank bags I could (relatively) easily home make some brackets that mount to the rear peg holes. I think I should be alright without them though. We'll see.

How much for your rear pegs & brackets? Mine have a nice scuff from turn 1a at NHMS.

Sorry I should have phrased that better, I'll be taking them off for spirited riding no matter what I go with. The saddle bags are purely to help me move back and forth from school to home.

Gotcha.

Ah sorry not for sale. You never when you'll need them. Someone has some for sale on ebay for $30 each though...
