Trying to find pics of a black 1800 with Corbin bags.  I know one of the members here has a rear-view signature pic, but I can't find others.
Trying to decide if these are right for me.  I need storage, but I'm not certain if this will impact the look of the bike.
Google pic searches yielded nothing.
Thanks,
Steve

I would touch the Corbin bags before I wrote the check.  I was ready to order, and then I got to look at them up close and they are too small to hold anything but a purse.

They can hold a medium sized cantaloupe and some peaches. They can hold my Joe Rocket jacket with
all the armor. They took me on a three day 2-over-night trip when it was cold, so that
included room for my heated gear too. Three-over-night is doable. They're not as big as 1500 Valkyrie bags.

...and they are a hell of a lot nicer looking than any other bag out there.  They are the only bag that looks nice on the bike.  All the others look like an after thought.  Sure, they are not really big, but for most people they will do fine.

That's my story and I am sticking to it... 2funny 2funny

I guess I was pretty disappointed with Corbin.  I really wanted them, but for me they are way too small.  If they had made them 2 inches wider and put on a top more like our old ones, they would have been usable.  I don't think it would have hurt the looks and they would have been usable.
