Hard luggage, throw-overs?
How much kind of 'kit' you contemplating?
Are you talking about heading off rally/camping, or B&B?
The Oxford 1st's I got a few years back are pretty good as 'budget' throw-overs go. Zip expandable, they take a lot of 'stuff', and fit my bike pretty well, even with pillion. Got them at a show, for about £20 as I recall, which was even better... they're normally about £45!
Argos have been doing unbranded versions for about £25, which seem to get a lot of thumbs up VFM ratings.
For hard-luggage, they offerings are much of a much, and expensive.
For considered touring with a woman of discernment, they do make life an AWFUL lot easier, but your talking £300ish for a set.
All depends on what you want to do really....

Its a 1997 CB750, it'd be B+B's I think. Like the sound of the oxford 1st time ones, got the 1st time tail pack for work and am very happy with that so will have a little look at them. Think soft bags would be better as its less of an investment and easily taken off.

Yup, the CB750F2N...... job-jobbed.

*Looks*

No. (Although they do look it, in the photo Laughing)

They hold the clips that clip the bags together when not in use.

Thanks for the replies, i think it'll b the Oxford ones as those others are a touch too pricey at the moment.
Looked on argos this morning and they are sold out everywhere, I guess everyone on here saw them and snapped them up.

Set of them and some sunny weather = happy summer Very Happy
