Nelson-Rigg classic cl-950 deluxe saddlebags installed...

[Riker]

Saw another member install these and liked the looks of them, and the price is right

Could maybe use a little adjustment to equal out the heights, but other then that, fit great and hold well during test ride...

Had them on my Spyder, They worked great, And the rain covers work as a cooler just fill with ice and stuff then in the bag with some half frozen water bottles'.:thumbup:

:thumbup: I have these bags, too. I'm a little OCD so I attach the two ROK straps per bag to the Spyder-- the top rear strap loops around the passenger handgrips, and the bottom forward strap loops through the passenger footpeg brackets. In fact, I now do that *before* I attach the velcro straps under the seat-- once the ROK straps are hooked in and the bags are sitting atop the passenger pegs, it's easy for one person to hook the velcro straps under the seat.

Looks great! What seat is that on your bike? Is that the ultimate seat?

I really like the look of your machine overall. I like the bags, highway pegs, seat, color, etc. Where did you get the stripes on the front fenders and frunk? They really set it off.

I have the 850's. Tons of room. Used them for the first time this weekend. I rode about 4 hours in the rain, some of it was almost torrential. Yeah, you guessed it. MY CLOTHES GOT WET EVEN THOUGH THE RAIN COVERS WERE ON. The bottom of the bags got wet. But again, they worked well and you could pack enough clothes for a long getaway.

I have used these bags in rain with similar results. I now use some one and two gallon zip lock bags available at Walmart. They keep everytning dry and even have handles for easy removable from the bag. I don't even carry the rain covers any more.

Never had a problem with rain-- you need to get those covers all the way on and *snug*-- but I also always pack all the clothes inside a trash bag inside the bags just as a precaution. No real extra effort in exchange for peace of mind.

Add one more bag to the mix. Literally takes a minute to put on or take off :thumbup:

I KEPT CHECKING THE COVERS, BUT I STILL HAD SOME MOISTURE. I LIKE THE IDEA OF THE THRASH BAGS. THE BAGS LOOK GOOD, HAVE LOTS OF ROOM AND ARE EASY TO INSTALL. OVERALL, A GOOD PURCHASE FOR $139.00.

What bag is that you added on to the passenger seat? Don't see it listed under the Spyder category?

 

[bcoulter19]

What type of highway pegs do you have. I am looking for some and I'm wondering what others have done and how they like it.

 

[dliszews]

Right side bag looks pretty close to the exhaust pipe. How is the shield panel holding
up?

 

[Riker]

The bag is ... nelson rigg cl-1040

I have only had the saddlebags for a few days. Instruction call for you to have a minimal of 1 inch, so I should be ok, I am a little farther than that.

The highway pegs are from one of our sponsors.. http://www.customdynamics.com/can_am_spyder_footpegs_grips_accessories.htm#Spyder_Footrest_Brackets_
and the actual foot pegs are from Kuryakyn brand...
