    So the general consensus is that 50% hate the bags and fairing and 50% love them but won't pay the rediculous $3000 to get a set.

     Corbin has great products but some one needs to seriously rethink the prices.  I think for any bike that doesn't come in full dress, $700 is the most you can get away with charging for saddlebags.  If not it's cheaper to just trade yours in and get a full tourer than add all the accessories.

    Warrior with Corbin accessories 12,000+3200= $15,200

    Roadstar = $14,000

    Trying to pull it up again.  I personally really like the bags and fairings-has anyone heard anymore about these?  Anyways, they are expensive, but what does corbin make that isn't!!!  I think the general consensus is that we all like their stuff, and agree that it looks good.  I would definently buy this setup if it was about 2k cheaper-and it would still be alot of money.  But then again, I am cheap and can't justify 2k for a tire that is 4 inches wider either.  Not that it doesn't look good though.

    Forgiveness is between them and god....it's my job to arrange the meeting.

    Many of us have been working hard to reduce width on the Beast.  I just don't think the Warrior's shape fits with having hard bags, it just makes it look too much like a run of the mill bike.  I'd like the whole bike to be as narrow (except intakes) and low as possible.  Corbin barked up the wrong tree IMO.

    I still think the roadliner bags that Marthon made fit look the best.

    I'm still partial to my version of the Warrior bagger...

     I added Roadstar floor boards but haven't posted the pictures yet.  I know, I'm going to hell for doing this to the bike.  It's just really nice having bags and a sissy bar.  And the floor boards are soooooooo comfortable on trips.

    First, I'd suggest bags that work with stock pipe. Their is no need to make them the same size since the bike is not symetrical anyway. Anybody's symetrical saddlebags fit if you spend $1000 for low pipes and and a Power Commander to make them work. There are already plenty of choices for that kind of luggage.

    I am not much of a bagger fan but Wes, that the best looking touring warrior setup I have seen. Kick Ass!!

    Re: Warrior Beetle bags

    The bags and the nice windshield do look nice and the contours of the bags match the bike really well. It looks like he has the Clearview windshield mounted on the Yamaha Boulevard brackets which I think is really clean looking. I'm not sure what the "chin" is for or, where he got it, but it sure looks nice. That area is a bugger to clean so that is enough to make me want one. I think it's much nicer than the Corbin rig but I'm keeping the stock pipe on mine and will have to "invent" something this winter to get a similar look. Maybe I could saw the bottom of the right bag or bore a hole through it for the pipe? Hmm...

    The Warrior is not meant for bags.......period. Roll your stuff up into a duffel and strap it to the back seat, if you cant live with that take your car. I'm mean  really..... all of those set ups reduce the Warrior to some run of the mill odd looking bagger........it should be a crime.

    Wes, what height Clearview windshield is this? Is there much turbulence and, if you don't mind, how tall are you and where does the air hit you or does it go right over your head? Can you look over it or though it? Is there any air pressure pushing you forward with that shield?  Thanks so much. I'm about to replace my Memphis Shades BigShot so this looks perfect!!
