I have been doing research and I am having a difficult time finding Saddlebags for this bike. I mainly use it to commute to and from work and would love to get the backpack off of my back. Any suggestions?

BTW....I am a new Buell owner and this is my first post......cheers

Really need rear pegs to keep them pushed out off the tire.

Cool, I will look into the Cortech's. Those blue ones match your bike well. I have the red and gold Firebolt so I think black would look best for mine.

They have zipout expanders and get huge.
I easily can get a week and half of colthes and extr shoes in them

RT did you get the sport tail bag? or the round Tribag System?
I need a tail bag first before i get saddle bags. need it to hold my lunch (cold) for when i ride my Buell to work. right now all have is regular small soft sided collapsible insulated lunch cooler.(like what you can buy at walmart) I just tie it down to the passenger seat so it doesn't move in any direction. looks crazy and takes a few minutes to tie and untie it.
sorry dont mean to hijack the thread!

I bought the sport tail bag after seeing a friends at the dragon ride.
You can clip it on into the sport saddles to make a try bag.
It has a lot of room. The built in bungees are quick to install or remove.
Haven't actully used it yet just finishing my 1125r valve adjustment.

Thanks guys, I will most likely be getting a set of the Cortechs. Are they big enough for a helmet or just a little too small?
