  That's a cool Trike! Quick question for ya though... Do your saddlebags rub against your panels and wear off the paint? I was considering getting some saddlebags like yours for my wife's Retro style scooter but was unsure if it would damage the paint? |

dmartin95 I do custom leather work and can tell you any leather tough enough to stand up to the elements will eventually scratch paint over time, especially when you consider road grime and sand getting between the bags and the body. Then consider the constant vibration of the road and motor. One idea I've been playing with and plan on putting into effect when I make the bags for my scoot is to incorporate foam padding I use in my custom camera and laptop cases. www.ebay.com/itm/Open-Cell-AS-PU-Foam-Sheet-75-THK-24-W-24-L-Pink-Plain-Backing-/321517516735?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4adbeff7bf As long as it's not exposed to the sun all day it should never "rot". My plan is to stitch it to the backside of the bags to act as a buffer. The cost of adding something like this for me is only a few hours of stitching. Even then I'm going to have to check them from time to time to ensure they stay clean.

I wound up getting me and my wife some saddlebags and where they install on my scooter they don't make any contact with my panels so I got lucky. My wife has the same scooter as yours and where they sit they do not rub against the panels. they have ropes to secure the bags so they don't move around.... I'll get some pics in the next day or so so you can see what they look like on your scooter.... The foam idea is brilliant in the event you get some different saddlebags! |

dmartin95 Pics would be awesome. I can't seem to picture how they prevent them from touching the body. Especially on a scoot like mine that is a bit more "hippy" than most other scoots. And I won't get different bags.. I'll make different bags. LOL So design ideas are mucho appreciated!

And I won't get different bags.. I'll make different bags. LOL So design ideas are mucho appreciated! Sorry it took so long to reply (work, work, work)....... Here's some pics..... I know you mentioned you could make your own saddlebags, but these are nice quality and cheap., but you may be hard pressed to make these at the price we got 'em (I bought two, one for my wife and one for me).... This is a 2011 150cc, BMS heritage Wilson's Leather offer 35% off any order of two or more items which brought saddle bags down to $65.00 each and that was with free shipping... In addition she got gift cards from giftcardgranny.com and saved another $20.00 bringing them down to $55.00 each to the door.... Notice in picture 4 how the saddlebags rest on the chrome end piece... The pics arent that good but that's where the bags rest they make hardly any contact with the body and the straps hold them 100% in place even at full speeds. After two week, no scratches "yet". Anyways, I hope this gives you some ideas for what you're planning with your scoot! Wilson's leather saddle-bad linkYou have to sign up at Wilson's leather to get the discount sent to your email. Happy scootin XY!     |

Here's some pics of my Main scooter I ride. Its a 150cc Bintelli Havoc. You will notice I hung my saddlebags in the opposite direction so they can hang on the slope of my frame and makes zero contact with any body panels.   |

Hi guys, here is my ride. Its a 50cc chinese scooter made by Benzhou. They are sold up here as a Nostalgia.
It went from 50cc to 100 cc (80 something cc) but like all 100cc BBK it blew the crank. So a 150cc shortcase was installed but i wanted some nice fat tires on it, mostly in the back.
I am now in the process on installing a 150cc loncase engine i took from a damaged Pertutti RAZZ i got real cheap. I'll also be stretching it from the middle, adding a reinforcement bar with a gaz tank on it. (going for a rat rod bike ricer look)
Will be posting more about that when i find the build section. 
As it sit now in my garage:  |
