Title: Saddlebags on 696 Post by: puchika on July 21, 2008, 02:24:07 PM Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone has installed any of the typical nylon sport saddlebags (Cortech/First Gear/Nelson Riggs/etc) on their 696? It's hard to tell from pictures online if they will clear the cans which get extremely hot (the stock ones at least). TIA Title: Re: Saddlebags on 696 Post by: remy on July 21, 2008, 06:45:59 PM The Wolfman Mini Beta tail bag is awesome. It fully clears high-mount termi's on my 695. I bet this would do the trick on your 696.

not that that bag isn't nifty and all. any other suggestions? Title: Re: Saddlebags on 696 Post by: Raux on September 10, 2008, 06:01:40 PM in another topic, the idea of the boomtubes for the 696 came up. then any saddle bags that just throw over the rear seat would fit.
other than that, there needs to be some sort of frame to keep it off the pipes. tail bags are ok but not applicable for 2 up riding. Title: Re: Saddlebags on 696 Post by: Murdered Monster on September 12, 2008, 09:54:29 AM Clear out the cans with a set of boomtubes brother!

They look really clean and they're LOUD. YouTube it... you'll see;)
