Corbin's popular Beetle Bags are designed to fit specific bike models so they're visually integrated and look awesome! Notice how the Corbin bags mimic the shape of the fuel tank and follow the graceful line of the fender. This helps the bags actually enhance the look of the bike rather than just being an add-on. We also design our saddlebags to fit close to the profile of the Rocket for improved weight handling and aerodynamic efficiency. As you can see, the integrated shape provides a bit of a Hot Rod flair and a look far cleaner than "one shape fits all" style hard luggage.
Both bags feature top loading so contents can't spill out when opened and they will self close in the wind if forgotten. We mold the bags close around the fender rails and in tight to the fender. This allows the bags to carry weight in close where it won't upset your balance. This design also keeps a narrower profile for less width to worry about when lane splitting. Our design team shaped these bags to work with your stock exhaust system, but they will work equally well with any system that has a profile lower than the stock pipe.
Here's a new feature for Corbin bags... Rocket III bags are engineered to work with the Sissy Bar / Passenger Backrest setup available from Triumph! We have a variety of seat models that work with the Tall sissy bar / luggage rack (part #A9738070). Currently, the short bar has been unavailable for testing, but appearances indicate our seats and Beetle Bags should work fine with that system as well. The interior wall still fits very closely to the shape of the bike, but the clever design of the Triumph sissy bar assembly allowed us to make it work.
Since the interior wall fits so closely, we can keep the saddlebags narrow and carry the shape around the rear fender. This keeps weight bearing close to the centerline of the bike which helps to maintain a good center of gravity. When loaded properly, you won't even know they're back there while you're riding and the bike remains stable at all speeds. These bags were designed by the same guys that ran Hayabusa saddlebags over 180 mph on the Bonneville Salt Flats.
Constructed of our exclusive Fibertech material for a fine finish and long term durability. Installation is a snap with all required mounting brackets included. Simply install two studs in place of existing bolts in your fender rails and mount our brackets to the passenger foot peg hanger... no drilling or chassis mods! The bags will now secure to the three installation points and you're ready to hit the road. This is a good angle to see the details worked into the saddlebags... like the triple ribs on the trailing edge. Beautiful!
Corbin Beetle Bags mold around the passenger's legs to maximize capacity without creating an overbearing look on your sleek machine. We are often asked if a full-face helmet will fit inside our bags and we're sorry to say "it will not." Creating a set of bags with enough width to hold a full face helmet, would have made them extremely wide which would make them unstable at higher speeds. However, their 30-liter capacity (per side) will provide plenty of room for a weekend getaway or daily commute.
Both bags come completely lined to protect your cargo and feature locking doors for security. Molded to fit perfect with your stock turn signals. Sure seal weather stripping and adjustable lock keeps them watertight. Corbin's Beetle Bags come pre-painted to coordinate with your factory paint job so they're ready to install right out of the box. Saddlebag lids are molded using our new RTM (Resin Transer Molding) process so they're more rigid and finished on both sides to look nicer open or closed.
OK, here's a widget that is totally unrelated to the saddlebags, but we couldn't help but put it on this page 'cause it's so cool... a Glove Box back for our 02-S model removable backrest. Just remove the rear finishing plate from your #02-S and bolt on this glove box in it's place. Constructed of durable ABS and comes to you pre-painted and fully lined. Features four liters of storage space which is plenty for a couple bottles of water, gloves, maps, cell phone, sunglasses and keys. Also available with the backrest if you don't have one yet. Pretty slick huh?
Note: These Beetle Bags will
not work with the Streamliner Trunkbox as there is not enough clearance for the saddlebag doors.
