Ninja 250 Saddle Bags?

#1 Unread post by Jamers! »

Is it possible for a ninja 250 to have some sort of saddle bags? Ive been looking but i havent found any. I would prefer the box kind that are able to lock, but any kind at all would be nice, anyone know if this is possible with the ninja?

I got the ones for my NightHawk from Cortech for $130.00, and I think they looked pretty nice:

They weren't hard bags, but you could lock the zipper tabs together if security was an issue, or you could use the quick-release buckles to pull them off the bike and take them with you.

those do look nice, though i suspect they remove the option of a passengar?

No, I had many a passenger sit on the padded straps. You could also run the straps under the seat.

On 2 of our bikes with soft bags the passenger pegs were hard to access. I just made some simple brackets to move the turn signals back a few inches. This allowed me to move the bags back a few inches and problem solved.
I would be the old, slow guy. Just let me know where you are going and I'll try to get there before you leave.
