F**kingod**** expensive. (though I talked them into a small discount.) I don't like to think about it too much... And I have a beef with some of the cheap plastic parts they use on the bags, but I'll save that for later. I guess it's what you have to pay if you want something that was made for the bike, as opposed to just fitting on it. I can't imagine they sell too many of them at those prices, and they gotta pay the fiberglass wizard who designs them. If they hold up, I'll be happy. If they start cracking after a year or something, I'm gonna flip out. But I'll make sure to post how they do over time so folks will know.
I had a real hard time finding pictures of this combo, so my intent was to get some out there for folks that want the roadster's power but need some bags too.
With these bags the bike was still cheaper than the F6B. And all I'd have to show for that would have been a bunch of buttons and some speakers I don't need or want. And about 50 less horsepower. Nah, I'll pass.
I was thinking of doing the stripes on the fairing, but I think it might be a bit too much, not sure. I'll think on it some more and see if I can find someone I trust around here to do it right. But yeah, I agree, I love the factory stripes. When I saw it on the show room floor, I knew I was gonna have that bike, though I tried to talk myself out of it, and be more "sensible." Thank God it didn't work!
I was going to save this for another post where I go into more detail for folks looking to buy these, but that might be a while, and it can't hurt to post it here as well.
This fairing will NOT WORK with the Triumph oval or teardrop mirrors. You have to use the stockers or something else. (So don't toss them!) I put a little chip in the paint on the fairing finding that out... Nice thing about flat/matte black paint is that it's easy to fix.
