Cortech 2.0 saddlebags
Has anyone tried these bags? I'm wondering I'd it's got the clearance from the exhaust pipe.

I had these on my NH750 and have tried them on the CB1100, I'll throw them on and post pics in a bit.

Plenty of space between the exhaust, you can also adjust how low or high you want them with the straps on the top

The color faded pretty quick, there is no shade at work

Doesn't look bad imo, I took of the cortech logo and slapped on Honda stickers

Takes up space on the seat because of the turn signals but I can live with it

Only real problems is they rest on the shocks a bit

And access to the helmet lock, which I don't really use anymore

They come in handy if you like to take a lot of stuff, I see myself only using them in the winter, I also have the 2.0 Tail Bag that is big enough for a change of clothes and shoes and some more stuff. I prefer using the tail bag because its easy to carry around.

Here is a nice video of the bags





Cortech Super 2.0 36-Liter Saddlebags

1680 denier ballistic polyester and 1800 denier three-lined twill Jacquard weave side pockets with a polyester backing

Protective heat shield on lower section of bags and back piping (minimum clearance of 2” required)

Protective non-slip, non scratch diamond pattern strap and side pads help to protect the motorcycle’s finish

Two-tone red and black soft interior lining

Zippered side pocket on each bag

Phoslite reflective piping

Internal support panels

Quick-release mounting system connects to Cortech Super 2.0 Tail Bag

Reversible main closure zipper sliders allow for concealment when closed

Locking zipper sliders and expandable main compartment increases each bag’s capacity

Rain covers included (removable)

Dimensions:

16.9”L x 6.7”W x 10.2”D (36 Liters per Bag)
16.9”L x 9.2”W x 10.2”D (Expanded)

And the tail bag

RE: Cortech 2.0 saddlebags
I have those exact same bags, except mine say Cortech instead of Honda. Where did you get HONDA badged ones?

And yes, the lights are in the way and make them sit where yours does. For me it is not a problem, YMMV.

Maybe someone will come out with a light relocation kit or something.

Once I decided how I wanted to strap them, I trimmed the straps. Same with the top bag. I leave the top bag on all the time and only use the side bags if needed--easy on, easy off.

I did not strap mine to the turn signal lights though. Too much plasic there for me.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it!

The MotorSports store over here has "oem" stickers for different makes. They weren't model specific and came in packs. The pack I got had mostly honda logo stickers and a few cbr ones.
