Spike101uk Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 So finally got my bike on the road and love it, now I need saddlebags, though have seen the support bar, so a 2 stage question, firstly , Is the support bar absolutely necessary, as I hear you have to reposition the indicators, and secondly, anybody know a place to get reasonably cheap leather look saddlebags that will be suitable for an XV125.
Dom1878 Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 No need to move anything, but bag supports which screw onto the chrome strips on the fender are suggested to keep the bags away from the drivetrain etc. Got a pair of tech leather ones for my 125 off ebay for 50 quid new. They just sling over under the back seat, don't know why you would want a support bar? https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cruiser-Motorcycle-Motorbike-Panniers-Leather/dp/B0092E8IBS/ref=lp_303846031_1_9/277-2288301-2021028?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1463749308&sr=1-9 Ignore that, I read it as xvs125!
Hedley Posted May 20, 2016 Posted May 20, 2016 I've got a set of panniers that came with mine that I'll not use. They are faux leather and look well used. But the Velcro is still fine. Not sure how they attach though. I'll pop one pictures on tomorrow if your interested

Hedley Posted May 21, 2016 Posted May 21, 2016 Just got the bags out...they aren't they best actually. The tool roll bag pouch thing is alright though
