Greencastle! My parents lived in C'burg for a number of years... great riding roads around there!

Man, you guys are just the best!

Sorry man - I was unaware earlier, but a guy I know in NJ (has an '05 Triumph Sprint) told me about it. I just got back into town last night, so decided to go (with the nicer weather). You really did miss something, it was a ton of bikes, and most of them were not Harleys, surprisingly. The...

Brief update - 56,000+ and still motoring along

With snow threatening, I wonder if @VEGASRIDER will have any new snow-pics to share (!!)

I have an '05 and it functions exactly like that for me. I've done some light-touring with it (east-coast to Canada, Tale of the Dragon, etc), I do indeed have Givi side-bags and topbox/monokey (bike came with topbox, I bought bags on CL). I don't love the bracket on there for when I'm not...

Dear Lord.... my car right now (3rd party exhaust - drone, loudness, it's God-awful). I now hate my car.

Quiet here, so I'll throw this one out. A few weeks ago I was sorting the ('05) FZ6 for winter riding. Minor stuff, but it included stringing a new wire from the battery to support my new warm n safe controller (I have an older heated vest - controller is new tho'), and that got me to...

This makes me very happy to hear... thank you!

Well, they were mounted on my bike when I bought it. Let me see if I can find any old/decent pictures of them (I don't think I kept them on long). Back in a bit. (a bit later) I can't tell/don't remember if this assumed you the givi top box mount bracket or not. I do know I removed them...

Sorry @Gary in NJ - I found the old thread. They were not Ogios.... https://www.600riders.com/threads/free-ortlieb-soft-saddlebags.56675/

Not me personally. BUT - maybe @agf back when he had his FZ? I bought FZ, a few years back - it had some soft bags (and maybe bracket?) that I shipped to him... but honestly I dont' remember exactly what it was. But it _might_ have been something like this. @agf still there and listening...

Got it. Sorry for not understanding. Yeah, mine _do_ stick out more/further than my legs. I'm honestly not certain when if ever there was a _need_ to lane split when on longer road trips. Maybe in more populous areas... good luck

FWIW - I don't lane split (illegal in my state), and only have 'bags' on for longer road trips, so that's sparingly - bottom line, not sure I'm the best to definitively answer this. Here is my 2 cents - if I recall, the Givi side bags were not the issue for me (as their weight is kept low) -...
