why nobody talks about saddle bag ? LOL jus wanna share my view of storage(not promoting)

there is other options other den box.

 

saddle bad do come in diff size also, will not say 100% water proof, but can say 99% water proof(w/o damage de of coz)

price is 170 for the normal 1 ( design there is quite a few)

there are small size de also, will be cheaper den that. not sure the smaller size price

 

place to get u can go down to ah koon at lengkok bahru blk 61(its a HDB blk)

Saddlebags look great if that's your thing. They look kind of cute, even. They're best matched with a frame to support the bottom of the bags, to even out the stress (esp if they're big bags), so the final cost may exceed that of 2x E21s with mountings.

 

I wouldn't mind having a little fork bag for the 'cute' factor... anyone have a good pic of one?

personal experience, for me its about 80% water proof... for some unknown reason my saddle bag may get a little wet / damp inside... den i haf to clean each of my tools one by one

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

A little bit of damp doesn't affect their coolness

 

Hmn strangely I'm thinking of tiny saddlebags to put on the space between my side boxes and the seat. :3

Brother do some homework if not just buy new1:cheers:

Has anyone bought 2nd hand sideboxes + racks and fitted them at Planet?

 

My rack seem to have rusted and i aint sure i can remove/fix myself. Any idea if Planet does it and the rough cost? Thanks !

[zpjohnny]

hey guys, wanna verify something first.

i plan to just buy right side E21 side box only. is the side boxes sell in pairs or can buy juz 1 side ?

 

i deciding it because im driving my mother around on weekends, so easier for her to up and down on left side.

 

otherise i ned go scrapyard buy 2nd hand E21 that sells rights ide ler

[Pandoras Kitten 3]

I don't think there should be any issue purchasing one E21 besides the keys which may be matched to a pair.

 

Watch the off-centre weight, though.

a simple spray of the WD40 shall do.

otherwise, can request ah chong for the impact wrench.

as long as you have all the neccessary bolts, nuts, spacers, washers & brackets, it shldnt be a hassle of fixing.

only thing is the extension for the rear signals.

try not to just cut & twirl the wires together & then just black tape it.

best is to use wire lug connectors.

Best is if u can DIY...

 

or u pay me a sum & i do for u...

but u must have all the things prepared.

they seldom sell just one side, unless you can find someone who only need 1 side & you can share cost.

 

its still best to hv the pair on.

IMO, i didnt have problems for my pillion mounting/dismounting.

its just hw u place the boxes.

off centre weight wise, since oready accustomed to the normal heavy rear weight, just additional add ons doesnt much a difference unless you choose the heavy E360s or E41s..

[zpjohnny]

Noted. thanks for the infos. i considered the possibilities of 1 side as well, and i plan to put all tools inside that side box.

because my mother had problems going up even without the boxes currently. haha. sit 1 time, nag 1 time ask me buy car >.

 

sorry for the off topics.... thanks again.

hahaha kev , what are the things that must be prepared?

 

i was thinking use snapei method , just shift the boxes slightly in front so no need to touch signal lights. I dont pillion people often so it doesnt matter whether it blocks the pillion leg or watever
