Pics of feedback regarding 3 pouch Windshield Bags - Suzuki Volusia Forums : Intruder Volusia and Boulevard Forum

SC50 · 11-01-2012, 09:00 AM

Anyone have any pics of their boulevard with a 3 pouch windshield bag installed? I'm trying to decide on the 3 pouch setup or single large pouch. I have a MS Fats 19" screen, and i'm aware of the overall width being 22". I've found some 3 pouch setups on ebay that are only 18" wide, but i'm just curious how they'd look. If i don't like the look of the 3 pouches, I might should just purchase a tank bib with a large pouch vs having a windshield bag. Decisions decisions...

got this from a member here...love it...roomy.. easy to open and close...like the rigidness of it versus the soft leather of others. Would reccommend it. have seen it at our local Hot Leathers. Btw..also being used on a memphis shades 17 in.

Those look pretty good and follow the contours of the windshield nicely. How are they attached? To the windshield or the bars? Also what brand are they?

they attach to the bolts you see here on the front mounting strip...

don't know the brand since I bought it from a member here but have seen the identical one in hot leather store for around $50...

the thing you have to watch for is if you have risers, that can make the bars get in the way of the pouch opening. I had to make a different bracket for my wife's on her old Vulcan.

^^This is something i'm concerned about. I have the 2" spacers at the moment, and there "appears" to be enough room for the bags judging by my measurements and specs given for the bags. But i've also got some 4.5" risers on the way, and i'm not sure how well they'll play together. They'll only have .5" more rise than what i've got now, but they'll also pull back more so i'm hoping that'll help out.

A lot of it depends on the distance between the risers and the windshield. The Vulcan didn't have much, hence the fabricated bracket.

C50TinAB · 11-01-2012, 01:35 PM

Its a nice setup but having just looked at my own bike there's not much room between the risers and windshield plus there's the issue of cables so I'm not sure they would fit. Too bad. The MS windshield must sit further away from the bars than the OEM or the mounting strip is higher up.

I believe it does sit further away. There's a decent amount of room there, and it's adjustable forward/backward.
