Oem Video Needed

I'm close to pulling the trigger on oem bags. Just need to see them up close

Can anyone take a video of their bags, mounting and removing, opening, putting a helmet in the left box etc.

Thanks

Not a vid but hope this helps a bit takes about 10 seconds to attach.

They look great.

My understanding is that the OEM bags are too small for a helmet.

It depends on the helmet, and requires some trial and error to find the right position, but some helmets do fit.

My vision R with the sena 10c "fits". The bag closes, but probably wouldn't be waterproof. 

I would say most street helmets will fit in the left bag. 

I'd be surprised if a helmet would not fit in the left side bag.

Mine fits and I do have a large head  :wink:

Just make sure that the helmet bottom is facing inward, towards the wheel, and the front of the helmet is facing forward.

Wow. I called Honda while I was waiting on the white bags to confirm that my helmet would fit. They told me no. That contributed to my decision to go with the givi bags.

A video of someone putting a helmet in an OEM side case would be "NSFW".

No video but here is a pic. Obviously I would have helmet cover on.[image: Attached File]  image.jpg   45.95KB   14 downloads

Is that an Arai signet q nicely tucked in there?

Nope. It's a chaser v

I was all set to get the bags, until I saw just how wide they make the bike.  For the few occasions per year when I would need them, I find these to be more useful.

I used to use soft bags a lot.  I loved my old custom matching RKA saddle bags.

Make sure you use some protective film on the body work where the bags contact it.

As I noted in my VFR-800 review last year, yeah, the OEM cases on the VFR are quite wide.  Wider than a Honda ST or GL.

The good news is they make my arse look small.  :laughing6-hehe:

I used to think that they would interfere substantially with my lane split, er, sharing here.  But I've found that 38" across, while substantial, is not as huge as it seems.

Have two XL sized helmets that fit in either side - HJC RPHA-10 and a older Shark

Also get a 17" HP workstation lap top in either side too (with a little packing creativity)

Cool. Saw them at the dealer today. On/off is so fast and no added racks. I made the dealer an offer to buy a pair off of a used bike he has there. $1650 incl keying brand new. $1050 for the used ones. 37% off

Hi All,

My AGV K3 SV does not fit, however my icon chainbrain does and so did my old scorpion exo 1000 .

( upside down though ) .
