Buddy Top Case Sale

Post by PasadenaSue »

Too good not to share. I don't need one but here's a chance to get a top case for your Buddy. Black and pink seem to be in stock.

$55 is a good discount. You won't get a case in a Buddy color for less!

Best to see one in person before buying, though...
A lot of people were pretty disappointed with the quality of these cases and Genuine stopped offering them. There were rumors of a new & improved color-matched case similar to the Blur's but it has yet to appear. I wonder if the sale may mean that the new cases might be coming soon.

Yeah, my Buddy top case was pretty bad. That mug always made noise when ever I was at a stop sign or red light. I just purchased a Givi and I love it. Folks might want to save your $$ for something proper.

Like going to see Norbit

That trunk looks completely different from the one that I have. It has enormous reflectors across the back and a passenger backrest just on the front of the trunk, not extending all the way to the top. It has a "genuine" medallion on the top of the trunk. My trunk seems to be good quality, It doesn't make any noise at all.

I have yet to see a Blur top case offered for sale. I just bought a canvas case, but I hesitate to leave it attached to the scoot - too easy for it to walk away.

Scomo has it on their site; no picture, though:

I'm pretty sure I saw one at my dealer at one point. There's a pic of it in the Blur brochure.

Can you post a pic of it? If it's black or grey, it may be the Blur/Black Cat case.

Here it is. The dealer had it mounted on another buddy and we moved it to mine when I bought the scooter.

Yup, that's actually the one made for the Blur or Black Cat. Good unless you have an orange, pink, creme, red or green Buddy. :(

Here it is from the Blur brochure:
