Default new saddle bags on the zx636

so i have needed/wanted saddle bags for the bike for awhile and havent really had much drive until i saw whoop's setup so i decided to get something going.

the bags are off a polaris rmk sled. the brackets are kawasaki kx450f front fairings turned sideways, and they are removeable let me know what you think i think they are going to work out pretty good

not as cool as whoop's though i would love the ammo can ones

You and whoops are starting a new trend. Next thing you know, Kawasaki will be calling these ZX6R's Sport Tourers! The next ZZR 600?

lol i doubt the zx636 will ever make it to the catagory of sport tour unless they do an extensive overhaul on the ergonomics.

i was just sick and tired of only being able to carry 1 DVD in my cowl and that is all the storage i get. im trying to get a trip together with my wife this summer and thse will help alot.

next thing i need are some custom grab handles and a seat back fo her and we should be set. lol that would look interesting..... all this stuff im putting on im trying to attatch to a stock rear seat so the whole thing, (saddlebags, grab handles, and backrest) will all come right off and ill be able to toss my cowl back on and hit the mountian!!!!!

The 05-06 is more comfortable that my 03 & the 04 636's. My wife & I rode to Arkansas and back on my 03. Had to stop every hour to stretch my legs. You may be able to modify you rear seat and attach some brackets to it.

I meant the grab handle & seat back brackets. I'd like to see that as well.
