I recently bought a set of GIVI T411 Saddle bags. They worked well for the ocassional multi day trip, and are easy removable for everyday riding. They are low cost and the center of gravity is kept low so handeling is still good. Full loaded, 2 up I calculated we were about 1,000 lbs, Maxed out. Mileage was still good only about 42 mpg expressway running @ 80 mph for 100 miles, to 50 mpg touring @ 60 -70 indicated. Mileage does suffer at sustained high speed. My wife said her legs were resting a bit on the softer bags, but was more comfortable.
Yea, Black is available, but Yellow all they had in stock that fit, and I got them for $100 bucks, but I'm getting used to it. They are very visible for touring in the rain (they match my rain pants), and they dbl. as cary on luggage when flying.
Anyone know if the color can be changed?
