Zach26 Posted June 25, 2021 Share Posted June 25, 2021 (edited) Just installed my new saddlemen 1620 tunnel bag and I think I'm going to like never having to wear a backpack. I'm still tweaking the mounting so that it's rock solid but still quickly removable but it's almost there. The only real negative is having to remove the passenger handles but they never get used anyway so no big deal. (Just noticed this is the wrong section. Mods, please move to appropriate section) Edited June 25, 2021 by Zach26 Meant to post in FJ-09 section 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the site, I see that it's a Universal bag anyway - so not bike specific. They apparently have a 1450 model as well with the only difference being the dimensions of the 'tunnel' part for the seat. Thanks for sharing. Side note - I had to watch the video a couple of times to get that info as I had trouble concentrating - for some reason? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach26 Posted June 25, 2021 Author Share Posted June 25, 2021 Yeah I actually ordered the 1450 at first but then realized the tunnel was too narrow so I ordered this one the same day. I'm still waiting for the wrong one to show up so I can return it. For it being universal for it almost fits like it was made for this bike. They also have the regular non "tactical" version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member roadrash83 Posted June 25, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted June 25, 2021 @Zach26 That bag looks like it was custom made for the FJ. Do you think they can be used with the factory side cases on a 19 900GT? I would love to get rid of the GIVI top case and rack I put on. 1 He who dies with the most toys wins.

I'm not familiar with the mounting system for the factory side cases so I can't say for sure. Based on some pictures it does look like the sides of the bag might interfere with the top of the side cases though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporting Member fjrchuck Posted June 25, 2021 Supporting Member Share Posted June 25, 2021 I ordered one this morning and when it arrives I will see if you can use both the saddlebags and the Saddleman at the same time. I will report back! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Looks nice. Does "tunnel" mean something or is it just a brand name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you'll find it's simply the shape of the 'arch' that gives rise to the term tunnel which can apply to any brand that has that shape. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach26 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Here's another photo in the sun light after I fixed the crease in the front of the bag that was bugging me. It looks even better now. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
