I've been looking for saddle bags for the last week now and keep coming up short. I'm not sure on the size to get since I have no reference. I'm thinking 12w x 9 or 9.5 high and 6 deep slant throw over. Anyone have suggestions or pics and measurements of your bags?

Yea, I found one bike in the gallery with bags...I thought maybe someone had a little input on the topic, hence the suggestions and pics I asked for. All good though, found what I was looking for.

I put Saddleman bags on mine. Here is link to their install: http://www.yamahastarstryker.com/index.php/topic,1282.0.html

I'm trying to finish mounting mine today on my lunch. I'll post pics if I finish

OK, they're on - hardstreet sixer bags painted to match the rest of the bike.

I have bought Hein Gericke throw over soft luggage. Really cheap and very well made. Will put a picture on if i can find one.

They do have a .com website so may ship to usa. They are a German company.

I like the classic leather with/without stud look bags and no backrest for smoother lines.
I found the perfect size for my Stryker at
http://www.bikerbags.com/item/Slant-Saddlebag-with-Studs---12-109
They're small but hold just enough for short trips (Length: 12" Height: 8.5" Width: 6") of a 100 miles at a time which I usually do.
They aren't real leather but the man made ones look good and last better. I've had them on my bikes and love them. They have heat shields on the bottom and the back is hard plastic so you could even hard mount them or mount to a quick release system. I used Cobra Bag Supports.

About $80 total with shipping.

Those look really close to your pipes. You don't hit them when the swingarm moves?
I tried to match close to the OEM ones for clearance and I still notice some warmth to the left bag.

 

[chris]

about 2 inches off of them when I first got them the wife and I went on a 500 mile round trip and didn't have any problems with the heat. I now have the slip on exhaust so I have more clearance I took that picture summer of last year. I only put the bags on when we take long trips

 

[StrykerBill]

I mean the RIGHT bag gets warm.
Ok, I did think about the slip on too. I could probably go bigger like you with a lower exhaust.
Lot of variety of bag preferences from all of us, I just don't want to spend big bucks, like so many of our aftermarket stuff.

Thanks Stryker, I'm sold! Thanks for the pic too. I've been looking for the short backrest and bags myself and was wondering what the combo would look like.
