namerg · 05-11-2009, 11:43 AM

Hello,

I am trying to find a nice and affordable saddlebags for my bike but I am not sure about the size.

Are the following sizes will fit?
(1) Height: 9 in. Length: 12 in. Width: 6 in.
(2) Height: 10 in. Length: 13 in. Width: 5.5 inches

Any recommended sites to buy them online?

Thanks for your help,
G

Just keep it 15" or less wide and 11" or less in height and they will fit. Get ones that have a RIGID hard plastic sidewall. They will not go into your tire or 'fly up' at high speeds. One end will rest on the shocks keeping out of harms way. I also used zip ties to secure it a little more. Or get saddlebag supports off ebay.

You can also make your own saddle bag supports using flat metal bars. A member here did just that and hopefully will lead you to that posting because I can't remember where it is.

Dupo,

Are you saying 15" wide or width? I think they are huge..

Thanks,

Obviously they dont make saddlebags 15" deep ... :??:

Trust me .. i had monsters on my GZ .. those measurements are correct.

I made an intensive search online and then visited bike shops looking for the perfect saddlebags.
Don't make a hasty decision. Some shops will have samples that they will let you place on the bike to help you decide.
I like the ones I finally bought.

All I can say Is do your research and get a pair that fit. And don't buy the Suzuki ones for the gz (tiny and overpriced)

I bought a set from this company on E-Bay but you can go to their web site direct at http://www.uniquexceptional.com. They have real leather and synthetic (PU) leather options. The real leather comes out of Pakistan and I was impressed with the quality. They were so inexpensive I didn't think they could be any good but I decided to risk it for the price and figured if they fell apart in 6 months I wasn't out to much, but they are actually really good quality, thick real leather and they even have a liner inside! They aren't fancy looking but they are nice clean lines and very serviceable.

Good luck!

My motorcycle jacket (leather) is also of Pakistan origin, even though it bears a Milwaukee brand. I am impressed, too, with the quality.
