Default Going Hard, bags I mean

OK, maybe I wried but after seeing the Givi display at the speedway during bike week, I thought that the E350 top case would look good on the C50, so I have just installed a Matte Black one on my C50 with the break light option. Case is removed from the bike with a key. So not stopping there I have ordered a set of Givi E21 side cases Silver top with matte black bottoms. My bike is a 05 black/silver C50. I am going to adapt (hopefully) the cases to my easy brackets. I had to remove the small sissy bar and use some chrome spacers to keep the luggage rack for the case mount to install the top case but that's OK because I had all ready removed the rear Pillion seat for a solo setup and installed a Show Chrome rear fender rack. Yeah I know pictures will follow when it's finished. May not be everyones taste but I like the European flavor.

Looking forward to the final pics.
Haven't bought any saddles yet. Interested in seeing as many styles as I can.

Default Hardbags

http://www.pagerize.com/saddlebags/bags.htm

This seems to be a company I found, that I haven't seen on this board yet.

All the others I'm sure you know of.
A little pricey but they look pretty cool!

Thanks
Brad.

Thumbs up

The Bags Look Good, and they are Lower Priced than standard soft bags, don't see how you can beat that, looking forward to pics!

Default Bags On

I just got done mounting my new Givi bags using Easy Brackets, Here are some hastily taken pictures. The bags are on solid with no play, I am convinced that they will not fly off some day at speed. I give Givi high marks for fit and finish. May not be to everyone taste but I like them and think they go well with my C50.

Many thanks to Jimysan over at the Volusia riders forum, for his help.

Oh yeah, no snide remarks about the condition of my garage.

Those bags look good to me and most importantly, they're practical.

Who cares about the bag, I love the monkey (no not you UB)! I need to find a mascot for my SV.
