motorcycle saddlebags? Hello all I want to buy the baskets do not know what kind. I have a Honda VFR 800, want top-box
Honda saddlebags, like a company called Givi. You will need brackets to mount the bags. (These two are hard luggage) Soft luggage is available in the form of jet-overs and they come in different sizes. Motrax them and they are called Cargo.
Corbin makes some boxes in the VIFF, I think ...

Kaffy said that "givi" is another name reputation
Try to look at these 2 websites to get an idea of what is available. They'll probably have them listed under the saddle bag / luggage or accessories pages in the section metric: J & Pcycles.com ....... kuryakyn.com ..... or you can go to the Honda site and look for themselves.
One thing to keep in mind with hard saddlebags is size. If you do a lot of traffic filtering and do not need 35 or 40 liter panniers, it may be worth considering Givi E21 is. You can not install a headset in them (although this will not be a problem if you use a box above), but they are a little closer (and cheaper) than the regular case and would not be wider Your handlebars should not cause problems when filtering.
One advantage is that they are top opening so that all your belongings do not fall into the road when you open them. As with all baskets drive, you'll need a mounting kit.
Some good answers here, the only thing I would add is that some baskets made up and weaves abnormalities on bike handling at high speeds, to verify that by using what your bike through Forums to get more idea of what is best.
