    Hello all, i am just curious to see what kind of saddle bags, luggage racks, sissy bars and other accessories everyone has installed on their XJ's. I have an after market luggage rack, looking for some kind of bags or sissy bar if available.

    I have vintage Vetter bags, trunk and fairing that I'm slowly restoring/cleaning/updating. See my vetter post in the modding forum. (It's to hard to copy paste links on my phone).

    Will get some pics when my camera returns from new york with my sis in law. I like the bag you have up there but you may wanna go a little bigger. Cuts down on the sportiness but if your riding to a softball game or getting some groceries a little bigger is better.

    I think it looks good on your bike.

    I've got a set of throw over saddle bags I just put on last week. Rode with them loaded today. Works well. Carried my lunch into work.

    Looks good, but what does the Post-It Note say?

    I think any bag looks goofy on the 900's.
