I'm wondering if anyone has any opinions on the following saddlebags and tail bag. Thanks.

The reviews say that they work well on a current 250R...

For $90 it is worth a try for the whole setup!

Yeah.... I read the reviews, and there was one where someone used them on their 250. I was just wondering if anyone here used them.

I think I may order them up. For the money, I don't think I'll go wrong. I'm thinking about completing my luggage with an Icon urban bag.

I love the backpack and helmet carrier feature of it. I know it isn't fully waterproof, but I figure I could just toss a plastic bag over it and/or put anything inside it in a plastic bag.

I went to my local cycle gear about a year ago, and asked if they had any "cargo" items left (their old brand). and they had a very nice tank bag, seriously its bigger than a tail bag, and they let me have it for $40. That is what I use and love it. It didnt come with a rain bag either, so I just keep 2 small trash bags in it, one to go over it, and one to go in it. Seriously if you find the cargo tank bag on CL anywhere, BUY IT

Edit: here is one I found in the UK. Apparently Frank Thomas still makes them:

I use the motogear saddle, tail, and tank bags. The tail and tank bags are awesome. The saddle bags, after some EXTREMELY creative rigging, stay put pretty nicely. I didn't use anything but the straps the bags come with, but I wove the straps through the carry handes on the saddlebags creatively, so as to make them flop less. I'm at work at the moment, or I'd post a picture. I shall try to remember to post some pictures when I get home. :D
