(Shanling @ Jun. 23 2007,08:21) I was real close to buying the Corbin Beetle bags and then I saw a bike with them on it. They don't give you much room and are not easy to take on/off. You have to leave hardware on the bike and I didn't like that idea. For the price, they are just not worth it IMHO. I got a set of expandable Cortech bags that come on/off in less then 2 minutes and can be carried into a hotel room for less than $100.00 brand new. I can put four times the stuff in one Cortech bag then you can in both of the Corbins combined at 1/16th the cost and 200 times more convenience. I have their seats on my busa and nothing I have tried compares in that regard. I also bought the backrest with the attached glovebox and that is already falling apart. For some brilliant reason, the Engineers at Corbin figured it would be ok to have the fibreglass glovebox attach to the backrest with screws at an angle that a stubby can't get at and to top it all off, the screws have not got the length to reach the threads in the backrest! So after riding a few thousand miles, the glovebox has stripped out the threads in the back rest and won't stay attached anymore. There is a sweet $400.00 down the drain. Corbin makes great seats though!
