Money is a relative thing.  See the amazing Bilgemaster at the other end of the spectrum.  But I luv my C-Bows with H&B Legacy bags.  I fabricated a removeable shelf that includes a removeable Givi E300N2 top case (big enough for my helmet in the city and padded camera bag in the mountains).  And if you want to mount your own bags to the C-Bows, they make bag-side brackets for that.

    Those bags are a much better fit for the C-5 than the oval street bags.

Keep up the good work.

BMadd, I just purchased a pair of the Leather Native bags based on your review. I thought you would want to know. Thanks! Next is a rear luggage rack in chrome and some sort of bag to ride on it. Suggestions welcomed.

Great video (shame about the wind at the end!)
Nicely done with the important stuff explained and boring stuff missed out (removing bolts etc)

I will be fitting my Carberry plate before Spring or when the next oil change is due, so thanks for the detail it will make the task a lot easier to understand as the instructions aren't the best!

    Thanks, I noticed the other videos didn't mention it. Or did I miss them talking about it?

    I got the O-Ring from RE. They are available from your local dealer.
