Hi, new here, first post. Just picked up an 05 last week. Getting it ready for spring. Did the LSL conversion last weekend. While looking for hard saddlebags, I ran across these on ebay
$700 for bags and brackets. A little more than V35s, but much less than OEMs/ brackets. I have searched but can find no info on these bags. Look identical to the Honda's. Anybody have any info on them?
Each pannier has a 35 Litre carrying capacity. Comes complete with fitting kit.

These are red but you mite repaint silver .
$17.00 shipping and these are Honda bags.
The factory bags have one key that fits both bags , the ebay set has two keys one for the left and one for the right.
I'm going to second the plug for davidsilverspares. I ordered panniers from them last Tuesday, they made it to my house by Thursday. Included all of the mounting equipment, extra keys(both cases matched) and all of the instructions and whatnot.
These are very tempting but it appears they don't have them listed for any years before 2005. Does anyone know if the 2005 Red is the same (or "close enough") to the 2002 Red?

Winning red and italian red aren't the same, but they're pretty close. That said I'll probably plasti-dip my panniers to match the rest of my fairings anyway.
Awesome thanks for the link. For anyone else interested here's a link to pictures from jimmer of the two reds side by side on the bike: http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/gallery/album/5571-winning-vs-italian-red/
It's not perfect, but it's close enough for me!

Amazingly I got an email yesterday from someone willing to sell me a pair of OEM bags, in Italian red, for $250. One bag has a small crack and a damaged hinge but otherwise they look brand new and are still fully functional/waterproof!

Ontario... I hope KanadianKen wasn't involved with those bags in any way. There might be some suspicious residue that can be seen with UV light. :goofy:

After countless hours of searching and research, I just pulled the trigger on a set of panniers, brackets, and soft bag liners. Ordered Shad SH36 bags with liners and the 3P brackets. All for under $500 shipped. The Give v35s were just too expensive and couldn't find any used. The OEM bags were good but I didn't want to paint the whole bag to match.
Not a fan of Shad products from past experiences, but those are some damn nice looking cases! Make sure and post some pictures once you get them mounted please.

I've always had the Givi V35s before so was a little hesitant with the Shads but the cost savings, they look really nice (in pictures), and the mounting system convinced me to take the plunge. When they show I'll do an install/ review thread with lots of pics. :fing02:
