Now that the 2008 is out,
I was wondering if the old model solid panniers might be "fire sale'd"
That is, if anyone has any. I checked the suzuki site and they only have the soft panniers.
I'd like to get a set of genuine hard panniers. I've seen them in advertising a few years ago but never seen any in the flesh.
Anyone know of a dealer who might have some that they would like to offload??
I don't want a pickle . . .

The Hayabusa hard panniers that you are thinking about Ward are probably the CORBIN ones.
They look a bit like bat wings and don't have a very large capacity.

They wont fit new busa.Look great and equal capacity to a Ventura/gearsak bag, but lower centre of gravity, but thats the opinion of some one that owns one . If someone can show me better fitting Hard panniers PLEASE DO....

Mine were included in the deal when i bought my bike roughly $1300 and yes they can be colour coded, but got screwed by western motorcycles at penrith on the deal so went black so to get them this century... :

The panniers locate on three points .
1 is a bracket sharing the rear footpeg/exhaust bolt,which is small and i leave on.
2 is a bracket that mounts to tail ( if you look under you will see two holes already there,and that stays)
3 is a bolt that replaces the front bungy bolt, which i do remove when not using.
So it takes roughly 15 minutes to put on take off, but the first few times is a bugger to get lined up.. also i have a 4-1 exhaust that requires spaceing to accomadate the panniers as the are moulded to go around the stock twins
