Beetle Bags for 1997 - 2007 Harley-Davidson Roadking
Corbin's extremely popular line of saddlebags are available for the late model Roadkings! Corbin's "Beetle Bags" are specially sculpted to fit close to the bike for improved weight handling and be aerodynamically silent. The flowing shape provides a bit of vintage Hot Rod styling to the bike and integrates the rear end into a more precise design.
Corbin Beetle Bags mold closely to the profile of the Roadking to maximize capacity without creating an overbearing look on your machine. This interior wall also helps to keep them narrow and carry the shape around the rear fender. Beetle Bags carriy the weight of the bags and contents closer to the centerline of the bike for improved center of gravity. When loaded properly, you won't even know they're back there while riding and the bike remains stable at all speeds.
Corbin saddlebags work with your stock pipes and the Reinhart ones shown here, but we can't say the same for ALL aftermarket pipes. Any system the same height or lower than stock should be fine.
Both bags come completely lined to protect your cargo and feature locking doors for security. Sure seal weather stripping and adjustable lock mechanism keeps them watertight. Our top loading design assures that contents won't spill out when the bag is opened while the forward hinge action allows the bag to self-close if forgotten. Corbin's Beetle Bags come in primer gel-coat ready for your painter's preparation or for a little extra prepainted gloss black and ready to install.
Manufactured of our durable Fibertech material, Beetle Bags come as a complete set with all installation brackets and complete instructions included. Due to the design of our bags, they will not work with Sissy Bars or other accessories that mount to the side of the fender or the fender rails. Sorry, but our bags just fit too close for that. If you take passenger's regularly and are looking for a backrest option, the Corbin Dual Touring saddle may be just the ticket.
Fibertech Construction
Manufactured of our exclusive Fibertech™ material for durability and a clean finish. Specially formulated for Corbin, Fibertech™ gives us very tight tolerances with minimal shrinkage so each part comes out true to the original design.
Finish
We use a quality gel-coat for a nice finish that doesn't show material weave. When ordering parts in "primer gel-coat" you can expect a part ready for your painter's preparation. Most Corbin components are also available prepainted and ready for immediate installation.
Saddlebag / Smuggler Interior
Corbin Beetle Bags / Smuggler comes fully lined with a nice, thick grey liner on the inside to protect your cargo. Sure seal weather stripping around the doors keeps out the elements. Locking doors keep contents secure.

Beetle Bags work with your stock exhaust system or a variety of aftermarket models. Sorry, but we are not able to test fit our bags with all exhaust systems.
If you are going to custom paint your bags, be sure to test fit them before applying paint. Minor modifications can be made before they are painted if necessary.
When loading items inside the bags, it is best to load heavy items closest to the bike for proper load bearing and balance. Also, because of the beautiful painted finish, it is important to load items like disk locks carefully. If you throw an item like this into one of the bags, it can create pressure cracks in the paint on the outside of the bag. Just place items in carefully and, when possible, pack around them to stop items from jumping around if you run onto some rough roads.
