Mid Range Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Looking to buy new saddlebag model....I'd like to know what you guys are using.I currently have coldwave bag as shown on the picture(middle and far left) but it was not the best with the past and current sled due to seat moulding. I am looking at real saddlebag with lots of compartments on both side.I have seen a model last year on one guy's sled while crossing between Tadoussac and Baie Ste-Catherine but can't recall the brand. if possible please post a pic.......meanwhile i will look with Royal Distributing. regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smclelan Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I have used Choko for several years now. They are a great bag, very tough,and not expensive. On big trips I use a trunk bag along with the three pouch saddle bags. There is a small bag right over the tail light that is not Choko, that's a Cat bag. The other big one with the glove on it is the trunk bag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
too slow Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I've been using the oem deluxe bags polaris sells...fit good..enough room..no issues with durability Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doobraap Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 I use the Choko Rev bag. It mounts on the top of the trunk. Great bag but it definitly changes the center of gravity. My next bags will mount as low as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadRunner Posted November 28, 2007 Report Share Posted November 28, 2007 Mid Range, I have used the oem yamaha bags since 2004, the oval side bags have decent space and the rear seat bag holds a fair amount as well. They are also sturdy and have been sewn up well so they hold up for a long time. fyi RR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid quite a lot buying them in St Raymond too. The Yamaha bags held up good the rest of the trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

collett Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I too use the OEM Yamaha bags. I've had the same set since '03 and have never ridden without them. They stand up very well, and have no wear on them at all. A little stiff @ -35, but the zippers still worked without trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mid Range Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 It says in the catalogue All Yamaha models(not 4 stroke)!!!!! Do we have the choice otherwise than going with the oem one??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowa Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Mid Range it is because of the different shape at the back of the seat and the exhaust being back there. If you look below at the next ones they say it fits RX 1-Rage-Vector. Those would probably fit yours. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
