Go these off eBay today and tried to fit them. Bag on back is great (huge). Leather tank cover... still fiddling with it to get it right...
Those that have one, Simmo, 01Busa, etc... are there just the front and back ties, or is there meant to be one on the side as well? I can see a mark of some sort onthe side, but it didn't come with any other straps.
Also, what do you do if it rains? Do you need to take the leather off before or after it gets wet at all?
They're Bagsters mate, Great carrying and look cool too. They are not bothered by rain or detergent, I have had Bagsters for years, wash them with detergent, only take them off once a year or so to clean underneath so the paint doesn't get scratched.

Pan see the little black thing on the side there should be a little piece of strapping and a little bent hook that just clips to the bottom of your tank the bag looks like a bagster same as what i have but in a different colour of course did you get the tank bag with it also if you did then inside the tankbag there is a raincoat for the tankbag if it rains dont panic just remove it when ya get home and let it dryout properly and if ya gonna keep it on always just keep an eye out if any grime gets under there and starts to scuff the paint Regards Bill

apparently Bagsters are guaranteed for life. I was given one exactly the same as yours and mine is missing a side latch also. Canberra Motorcycle Center got straight onto it and have ordered a whole heap of the little things in and have called me to come pick one up - free of charge.
Nice set of bags BBQ.
Can you take half my gear to Jindy for me?
You won't need all that space for 1 weekend mate.

Nice set up Pan.
If anyone needs to borrow some luggage for the trip let me know, I have a magnetic Dri-rider tank bag, and a Gearsack pillion bag which is big enough to hold a helmet and more.

My tank bag's gettin on for 5 yrs old and has faded terribly.
What's the best way to tart it up? Paint or polish?
it's the copper colour, on the bag it looks more like orange.
Has anyone repainted theirs? and with what?
apart from that it's still in perfect nick.
What do you guys suggest?

Just a couple of things on your bagster Pan.You can get the side straps and clips for it no probs.I had one on my old viffer and it too broke a side strap(common prob i think).You will have to get the strap resown to the cover,i got mine done at a leather repairers.I think they are still distribited by mcleod accessories down here in melb.I personally would take the bra off more than once a year and clean under it as i have heard of stories of water sitting under the bra and rusting the tank.
I would take it off and clean under it everytime i washed the bike.The bag that comes with it is expandable,so you can have it as small or large as you like.The really great thing is the bag fits to the bra like a glove and will never ever move.
Phuck its the phantom!
Pan,
its not leather brother, its vinyl
Keeping it in good nick means giving it some vinyl food every now and then, DONT use armourall!
Ok, where do we get these e-bay tips from?
Also, I'm missing my side clip aswell, can we get them in sydney? i ordered my bagster direct from France as it was custom made to 1 color

Surely you must have a pic of a kiwi dry humping it ?????
Yeah, I know they finish early and can't write, but that's not a lanolin rub in that they leave either.
Bill, PM me your secret...
Is it about putting in your highest bid and letting the eBay thing bid for you?
Jes, what do you maintain the vinyl with?
