does that mean you're wireless and within range or are you camping in the back yard?

I have the Dowco Rally Pack saddlebags. They're designed for sport-bikes, but they work very well on scooters...and the teardrop shape matches the Buddy nicely. As for size, they only come in one size. And that is plenty roomy. Any more and it would probably become ungainly.

I got them through Chaparral Motorsports, www.chaparralmotorsports.com and they cost, I think, $59.00 plus $6.95 shipping. Very reasonable and they seem to be a nice quality as well. I'd recommend them over a number of MUCH more expensive bags.

If you can't find them at Chaparral, my local Genuine dealer, Encore Performance in Prescott, AZ carries them. www.epfguzzi.com for a few bucks more.

I just ordered the "Cortech Sport Saddlebags" before this was posted.

Anyone have experience with those?

Pros/Cons?

I use coretec bags on my Burgman. Saddle and tail bag and they work great. I havent tried mounting them on the buddy yet but I should give it a try.

...And why weren't we invited?!? :P

...yeah, I figgered that out AFTER I'd already posted! Duh! Anyway, the "where" is all over Arizona (still hoping to make the trip to Baton Rouge on my scooter, though) and you all may consider this an open invitation to join me on any ride. Heck, show up and I'll CREATE a ride around your visit!!

Um, it'd probably be best to wait until my scoot is out of the shop, first, though....
