Bold styling that compliments the unique line of the VTX-Retro... That's Corbin Beetle Bags. Specially sculpted to fit close to the bike for improved weight handling and to be aerodynamically silent. The flowing shape provides a bit of vintage Hot Rod styling to the bike and integrates the rear end into the "tail dragger" fender. As they say, "A picture is worth a thousand words," so why not just click through the images above and we'll get on with the specs.

Both bags are designed for top loading so your contents won't drop out onto the road when opened. If you've ever had your new cell phone or laptop drop out onto the concrete, you'll understand how important this is. The doors even hinge forward so they will self close in the wind if forgotten. Naturally they both lock too for secure storage. These bags were designed by the same folks that ran Hayabusa saddlebags over 180mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats... They work.

Beetle Bags come standard with all mounting hardware, turn signals, door locks and are fully lined to protect your cargo. Saddlebag set can be installed by an average home mechanic... really! Naturally we supply the set prepainted to coordinate with your factory paint job. Please note that due to the cost of the material, there is an upcharge to color match to Honda's "Illusion" paint colors.

Turn signal buckets are built into the saddlebag design and use the wiring from your existing turn signals (which are removed during saddlebag installation). Due to the shape of the turn signal bucket on the inside of the bag, there is an area that has limited access. Check out the grey shaded area in This Image for more info. This area is great for flexible items like gloves, tee shirts and such. Also, remember to be careful with heavy items like disc locks when loading painted bags. Dropping them into the bag could crack the paint on the outside.
