    OEM Saddlebags?

    I'm getting ready to buy a '79 GS850 to use for both fun and commuting. Did Suzuki make any hard side bags for this model? If so, where could I find a set?

    If not, what would be the best aftermarket substitute?

    Thanks.

    I AM SORRY TO GET YOU HOPES UP SEEING A REPLY POSTED, BUT i JUST WANT TO SAY i VERY MUCH WOULD LLIKE TO FIND SOME FOR MY GS 1000 TOO.IT LOOKS LIKE NATIONAL CYCLE MAKES HARDBAGS AND GIVI BUT POROBABLY ANYTHING YOU USE YOU WOULD HAVE TO MANUFACTURE THE MOUNTING SYSTEM YOUSELF.HOPE SOMEONE OUT THERE KNOWS DIFFERENTLY.

      Pretty sure Suzuki didn't make bags for that year. Vetter, Krauser and a few others were popular add ons. See them on e-bay from time to time. I've had a set of Krausers on mine for about 20 years, transplanted from a 1000 Kaw, easy to fabricate the mounts for it.

        I went here looking for some parts:



        they had a large rack of nothing but luggage racks and mounts/
        there was also a large pile of hard bags
        I am sure you could find something there and make it work with a little fab work.

        they also have a : 1980 Suzuki GS1100L 16 valve - chain drive

        good luck
