[QUOTE="ndivita, post: 942640, member: 593"] Well, according to the Corbin site, the hard bags are $1899 for the pre-2012 ZX14. God only knows what they will charge for the 2012 ZX14R side cases, and based on the above hail-damage look of the green exemplar, God only knows what they will look like. By any reckoning, $1899 is a butt-load of money for Corbin bags, which ain't all that large and which don't permit the ready use of a suitably large top case. I use a SHAD 50 top case on my bikes, moving back and forth as needed with the removable color plate system. But with the Blackbird, the Corbin bags are configured so that I have to remove the top case to get into the side bags; opening the lid on the Beetle bags interferes with the sizeable SHAD case. It is not a problem if you just remember how you packed. I rarely get into anything but the top case while on the road anyway and it comes off and goes on easy-peasy. I guess I could go with a smaller top case and have enough clearance but it doesn't bother me. Congrats again on the new hyper-bike ZX14R. What are the bar riser and lowered peg options on that beast? [/QUOTE]
