Cortech Super 2.0 Saddlebags on R11s

[vtguy]

Anyone tried these with good results? I like the clean look and reviews I have see are mostly positive. Have not been able to find anything about use on the R11s.
Only long trip I have taken on the bike was with a tail bag and an ill-fitting tank bag.
I do not have the stock hard bags, so seeking experience with best fitting tank bag and aftermarket saddle bags. I like the idea of the SW Mototech bolt on tank bag if anyone has experience with that.
Thank you and happy riding!

I don't like tank bags. I do use them on occasion and have them for a few of my bike but not the S. BMW makes a large tail bag that I've used several times, if I was taking my S on a longer trip I'd use it, I don't have the side cases either.

I do not own these but another member has them.

I used Cortech saddle bags for a trip to Seattle via Colorado from Connecticut...they worked out quite well. I had a seat bag over them, and a tank bag. The poor girl was loaded down!!!

Thank you all. Jay, that is what I usually look like, tail pack stuffed full and tank bag. Shape of the tank, however, does not let the bag sit great. And there is not a lot of places to lash down the tail pack. It looks like the Cortech saddle bags go under the seat for security?

Not sure how different v2 is from v1, but I have the old v1, and they fit good enough. It's not a perfect fit (the saddle rider strap for the two side bags is a bit too large and cannot be reduced, so the side bags are a bit saggy), but it works.

Thank you, Meeni. Ski season here in VT, but am jonesin for some saddle time!

As I still have every bike that I have bought in the last 20 years...which really is another thread, and being a great fan of tank bags because they alter the aerodynamics and you have zero air swirling around between you and the screen use one all the time.

The problem being 6 bikes...so I use Bagster,various tank bases and tank bag sizes but the bag fitting too the base is all the same love e’m, oh and with the 1100 great tank protection.

Oh the list is wrong there’s a KTM GT to go on.

Hi Chris. Do you have a photo of the R11s with the base attached and then the bag?

[Chris Canning]

Their are various bags but tend to use the same one on most of the bikes.

Thanks!

Your welcome the first two pictures are years old, made my other half laugh when I showed her... but the bikes still the same, even if it spends most of its life under a dust sheet.

I had a matching Mandarin bagster when I owned the R1100s. Couldn’t get along with it. I think I gave it away here. Fugly

[Chris Canning]

Absolutely love e’m...base never moves....only need one bag for all the bikes but I do have a smaller one, my only complaint Bagster do not do one for my KTM GT which I bought last year.
