GEARS Saddlebags?

[Derleth]

Greetings, I just bought a '99 Kat 600. Eventually I'd like to set it up with proper hard cases, but because of financial constraints I want to pick up some soft saddlebags for overnight/weekend trips. Has anyone used the GEARS Ultramax or Touristor throw-over saddlebags? I'd appreciate any input you have to give.
Thanks,
Todd

I'm in the market for a set also, but I'm leaning toward the Cortech Sport bags... have you check them out in person at a stealership?

Not yet, there's a Cycle Gear in town and I'm going to be swinging by there tomorrow to check out when they have and try to find a helmet for the wife.

If it's short-term anyway , just get a couple soft-side coolers , and lash 'em over the seat . The money you save can go towards the thing you REALLY want later .

I have Gears saddlebags and ordered a tailbag too. They seem to fit on my bike fine and expand for more room. When I go two up I am told there is room for the feet on the pegs. I am planning a trip to Mt Rushmore so I guess the bags will get a good test then.
