Where to find Monster saddle bags in S.F.

[160round]

Going on a road trip in early July and I need some good-sized saddle bags that fasten securely. I tried Scuderia, the D-Store, Munroe, and the Harley place. I tried out the First Gear bags and found them to be just a poor fit for my 2001 M900 S.i.e.( low mounting pipes ) Anyone have a suggestion for where to look for/order nice-fitting large saddle bags?

I'd prefer to walk in and purchase something from inventory than order from a catalog i.e. the Ducati gear. Thanks.

Try the Nelson Riggs saddle bags. Good size, easy to mount.

 Thanx for the feed back,
Do you know any place around that might stock them? (besides the places i mentioned that i have already tried)
I don't mind going out of the city to get them.

You can buy direct from Nelson Rigg. They're In Santa Ana, CA, so shipping should only be a couple of days. nelsonrigg.com

If you need 'em yesterday, PM yellowducknymph. She's got a whole set up, and might let you borrow them...as long as you're back before GP. I know she's riding down to Laguna Seca, so she'll need 'em.

Duh... brain fart....

I just remembered that RKA is just up the road in Sonoma. Great folks, and amazing gear! If they have what you need, you could probably just go up and pick it up from them. Bonus: it makes a nice day of riding too! [moto]

If you decide to go up to RKA, let me know. Depending on how my back is doing, I may join you for the ride.

I bought my saddle bags from RKA and they are great people. I've had 'em for about 4 years and they still look and work great. One tip: make sure the two zippers meet at the *back* of the bag. If they meet in the front there's a chance the wind will open things up and all your stuff with be lining the freeway.

I've got a Coretec tri bag system and they work great on the monster. I just bought a multistrata so the side  bags are up for grabs. Like $80?

I'll keep the top bag for a while.

pm me if you want em,

Thanks,
Pete

      Hello all,

  thanks again for all the feeback I would still be lost in the big bad world of saddelbags without your help. I ended up getting a set of used RKA bags from one of the great people at the D. store .
 the RKA bags will be going to my girl, because they are big and you have never seen anyone that overpacks like her .
Now I have to set myself up. I'm going to take Pete up on his offer of coretec bags.
