They are Happy Trails. I just looked at the HT web site. The panniers I have appear to not be on there any more; they were called Owyhee though....

The racks fit fine on the bike. Honestly, it was one of the best investments (aside from the EBR ECM).

The tank bag is the Buell factory bag I bought with my 1125R a few years ago. They are rather pricey now, but can occasionally be found on e Bay....

Invisible monster that was the kind of info I was looking for. I could not for the life of me remember BWB website. This Uly I am considering has had the comfort kit installed. That's one issue out of the way.

Conti TKC80 120/70B17 180/55B17 in stock.

Now I can run the TKC up front and retain the standard Ulysses mud guard thanks to the 120/70 lower profile. These tires have a "B" code which must stand for Buell. Good on you Continental - Top Job.

YEAAAAAAAAH Finally.!!! Been waiting for this for 34K Kms
Any one else seen other sellers of these yet?

Did the deed. Traded me 06 V-Strom for this.

Bought it on 1-7-13, with 13,000 miles and the last two of the VIN are 13. How cool is that?

I'm not sure if I've posted on this thread or if I've just been lurking.

Sounds good

Getting my XT farkled to my liking slow but sure. Underseat bag from eBay came in yesterday(to find out I already had one). Got a backpack and some other goodies coming in the mail soon. Meeting up with a guy this weekend to get a tank bag and triple tail bag and when searching eBay last night found a Zumo 550 that's reasonable. Then found out my wife's cousin works at the place that's selling it
