Just thought I would start up by saying hi to everyone. I have been lurking about for the last few days and have been reading alot about removing the baffles so I decided to try it and record the results for all to hear and see. I also included a pic of the bike.

Have you noticed your bike running rough since you removed them?

kbsnow · 06-24-2006, 11:15 AM

Welcome KB. Can I ask the make of the Saddlebags? They look like a perfect fit. I've been looking but until seeing your bike I wasn't thrilled with the one's I've seen. I'm liking those!

+1.

Was about to ask about the bags also. They suit the bike well.

Do they come in larger sizes as well?
Welcome to the site. For a red M50, she looks pretty good, debadged and all.

I am not the original owner, but I do have all reciepts for work done and add ons. The bags ware purchased from Wild West Motorsports in Yuma AZ. Here is a close up of them. Also is a scan of the reciept. I looked on the bags but could not find any brand info. My best advice is to call Wild West and tryand get info out of them.
