robblok Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Hi, I bought CBR saddle bags a while back ones that were here on the site. They were made in Thailand and not that expensive, the result was that they are already broken. Has anyone any recommendations for saddle bags fitting on the CBR 250 ?

thaicbr Posted June 20, 2013 Share Posted June 20, 2013 Maybe some pictures of your old ones to compare? Sent from my GT-P1010 using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted June 20, 2013 Author Share Posted June 20, 2013 Menolt menat series Kinda like a red fox logo on the side (just the head) Red with black bag Broken / straps just breaking tearing straight through as if cut (but can see its not cut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salapoo Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 It might be possible to get them mended (in a much better way than stock) for a very cheap price. The straps on my Honda tank bag were ripping at the seams, about two mm of strap left connecting them, local sewing machine lady, undid the seams and sewed them in properly with reinforced stiching. Been perfect ever since. Cost 50b. Things like that are cheap here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I know but i prefer new as an accident has also damaged the bag itself (gf on the back of the bike with the bags and she pressed it on the exhaust) Its still use-able but not great. If I am buying something id like it to be quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piston broke Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 i've used these guys and found their prices reasonable and their service first class: http://www.crsaddlebags.com/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted July 2, 2013 Author Share Posted July 2, 2013 In the end I bought some GIVI side boxes with rack at crsaddlebags. Great boxes a bit smaller as the bags that I had (too bad) But easy to take off and water tight and much more secure as the saddle bags. It makes my bike a lot more useful now that i can carry some stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
