Hey guys, Stupid question but heyy what the hell.
Is it possible to throw bags on a 2011 R3 Roadster?
I know the exhausts are big and not to far away from the rear fender so I was wondering if they would even fit or if they would rub on the exhaust.

I have a pair of saddle bags that are leather and have thrown them on there numerous times to carry cargo. Just make sure they dont touch the exhaust and you will be good to go. I removed the pillion seat installed the saddle bags and put the pillion back on. No big deal really.

Just sold Mittzy a set of America/Speedmaster leather saddlebags .. they would make great throwover bags for a Rocket.
