All,
Thanks for the links and leads to the side bags. The Tsukayu bags look great, but the only thing I don't like about them is that you have to reach inside to detach them. What I'm hoping for is something that I can detach from the outside of the case without having to open it. Kind of like a suitcase for a bike. See, I'm one of the lucky people that has a partner that loves to ride on back, and we are looking to do some weekend rides to places within a couple hours from home. I'd like to be able to pull up to a hotel/motel/BnB/etc.. and just grab the bags off the bike and toss them in the room. I'm finding stuff as I look online, but just curious if anyone else out there already has something that they can recommend.
And, you answered another question ( that I did not ask ). Is it okay to put things up for sale on this forum. I'm new here and wasn't sure. The last forum I belonged to ( called Chromeheads for those who owned the classic look BMW R1200C - which was my last bike ) had a marketplace thread just for that. I've had my 9 for about 6 weeks so I am in the process of tweaking it ( new seat, backrest, saddlebags, etc - mostly for the comfort of my partner - which is very important

). So after I finish that I suspect I'll have a few extras that I do not need.
Again - thanks to all for input! - B
