Briggsy Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I went round the accessory shops in Pattaya this week looking for soft saddlebags amongst other things (for a CB500X). A few shops had hard cases which had prices in line with Big Wing (30,000 - 50,000 Baht). I don't need them that much. But no soft saddlebags. Then in the bike parking in Big C, I saw a CBR or er6n or something with Rough Ride saddlebags. They looked just like what I was after. Anybody know where you can get them.

OmegaRacer Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 I have an ER6N and use soft saddlebags from a German company called Bags Connection. I'm very happy with the quality and with how easy they are to mount and take off. You can find them at Panda Rider for around 10k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 That's Bangkok, isn't it? I have never been there. I will bear it in mind. I might be going in this month. I prefer to buy in person than over the net so I can see what fits and what doesn't. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seedy Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 If you do shop online, I have had great luck with T-Bags - https://www.tbags.com/ Ones I have now are over 15 years old, Thai Sun for most of that, survived my accident enroute Pai without damage.

drift Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 (edited) Maybe try here http://www.gtautobike.com/product_323589_th They're in Bangkok and deal with GIVI. I sort of like this model GIVI bag. http://www.givi.it/soft-bags/Saddle-Bags/WP405 They don't seem to carry it though. Maybe they could order a set for you? I think CRSaddlebags is a GIVI agent also?

Their English is limited, but Khun Sunisa speaks enough English to get information (they sent lots of pictures with dimensions via Facebook) and place an order (paid before shipment into her bank account). Best communication is via their Facebook page, and they respond to messages within a few hours. The bags arrived via EMS yesterday, well packed and are exactly what I wanted -- look great. Come with rain covers and mounting straps. The bags are from a Japanese company (Komine), perhaps made in Thailand, and have a price of Y19,950 on the instruction card ($165), so 2N's price of B3,200 (plus B200 shipping to Pattaya; ($95)) seems pretty good. The bags are not as heavy as the "western" chopper type saddlebags (sold by Chiang Rai Saddlebags), but these bags have a molded design that is much better suited for a sport bike. They look great on my CTX. Recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have used them a couple of times - my missus sends them a message (in Thai) on "line" stating what i want - and they reply pretty quickly with the total price incl the postage (which is pretty reasonable) and their bank details - you transfer the dosh and they ship immediatly... Items arrive a couple of days later, well packed... so a big thumbs up from me.... Edited November 24, 2015 by properperson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
