Corbin's slick Beetle Bags are available for your VFR 800 Interceptor! Designed to bolt up easily on your stock chassis, our bags not only provide convenient locking storage, they also enhance the look of your bike. Notice how the lines and details of the stock fairing have been incorporated into the design of the bags... Very cool! As they say, "a picture is worth a thousand words" so we'll let the images above speak for themselves.
Beetle Bags are specially designed for each motorcycle so they fit the profile of the bike perfectly, like pieces of a puzzle. This enables the bags to carry the weight of the contents closer to the centerline of the bike and keep perfect balance on your VFR. Another benefit of our design and mounting system is a smaller overall width for less wind resistance and interference when lane splitting or leaning over in a corner. You won't even notice they're back there when riding. Although we can't possibly test our bags with all available exhaust systems, we know they work perfect with the stock system or the carbon-fiber "Stasher" system available from Two Brothers Racing.
For loading, we've placed the doors on top of the bags and they open forward into the wind. This assures that contents will never spill out of your bags when you open them. The forward hinge motion helps the doors to self-close in the wind if you happen to forget them. Naturally the doors are fully weather stripped to keep the rain out if you should be so unlucky as to get caught in a storm. By the way, if you have an adjustable shock installed on your bike, the bags will still work perfectly on your bike (as shown).
Beetle Bags come complete with all hardware required for immediate installation on your machine. Both bags are fully lined to protect your cargo and the doors feature adjustable locks for security. During installation, you will remove your plastic rear fender and replace it with the slick, low profile one that we provide. As you can see, this turns your license plate sideways and relocates your stock lighting a bit. If you prefer to keep your plate horizontal, we also include a bracket that allows you to do so. Saddlebags and rear fender are constructed of our Fibertech material for durability and a perfect finish.
Combined with our Gunfighter & Lady saddle, the VFR becomes an excellent touring machine! Corbin's bags come to you pre-painted to coordinate with your stock VFR paint. Please note there are variances in the Honda colors that make it impossible to match perfectly. When discussing paint colors with our local Honda dealer, they went so far as to tell us, "VFRs don't even match VFRs". The red paint that we've come up with is a good match to the Honda red, but as we mentioned, it's not perfect.
