    Samsonite Bags

    I have a 1980 GS850GL that has a Samsonite hard side luggage set. Side bags and rear trunk bag with matching locking racks. Was this a dealer installed item or after market ? Thanks.

      I'm pretty sure that this was aftermarket. Samsonite made hard bags for many popular bikes around then.

                  Thanks for the info. Took them off then realised that left no grab bar. Put them back on to move the bike around till I get it running. Maybe have to find a home for them.

                      Hit me up if you want to get rid of them. I have samsonite boxes on my '79. I've been considering looking for some in better shape, or some to back up the ones I have. Do you have a pic?

                          No pics yet. Just dug the bike out of storage. Bought it 5 years ago then moved. Just getting ready to get her on the road. Ordered the carb to head rubber boots,can't wait to start riding again.

                              I will keep you in mind if I get rid of them. I like the bags but the framework when they are off is pretty bulky. Am not used to a bagger I guess.

                                  Thanks, it's no big thing, just thinkin it would be nice to have some extras. I leave the bags on all the time, youre right, that frame looks goofy with 'em off, my bike looks kinda naked without them anyway!
