second try...

It's been six months so I'm going to try again- anyone have microns and factory bags? are there clearance issue's? got pics? just had some money get freed up and will be looking to upgrade soon. thanks in advance.....

 

I've heard they don't but I wouldn't know since I'm still running stock pipes. You might get better luck either asking MICRON or looking up members with MICRON pipes and PM them.

I'm supprised you haven't heard from any MICRON owners yet. I remember your original post a while back. Thanks a lot guys!
Maybe non of them have the hard bags.

Good luck!

 

I emailed micron but never got a reply back......

 

I've got Microns, but no bags, let me know if there are any measurements or pics that you would like of mine......don't know if it will help......

 

If you could do top, back, both sides, and along the line of the can would help. lining up the camera to take pics at 90 degree angles would help show the Pipe to bodywork to bracketry relationship. many thanks for your assistance.

 

I'll try to get those pictures up later. I'm at work today but my Lt. has his camera with him, if we don't burn the world down today I should be able to get those pics for you. If we get too busy today I'll get them tomorrow when I'm at the house.

 

See if these will help:

 

I am going to take pictures of my bike w/ brackets that closely mirror yours and see what I can come up with. Thank you for the assistance.

 

Do we have a winner?

 

I am going to have to say It's a big NO. the cans stick out too far and hang too low to fit inside the brackets. thanks to Onesided for the pics. I love sound of Micron pipes (have one on my 954) but this bike is used for main transportation- bags have to fit. I guess the runner up- Leo Vince- will have to be used instead.

 

I know , this isn't what you asked. - Just an option to consider-

I (and all my riding buds, too) really like the look/sound of my staintunes.
I have the stock bags, and the SW motech rear rack also.

 

That's too bad....I've been thinking about getting the aftermarket Givi's that are similar to the factory bags, I wonder if they are different enough to fit?

I don't know if anyone has any pictures of the mount for the V35 Givi bags, but if you do I would love to see if they would be compatible with the Microns.

 

Just bought an '07 and the bags. Looked at an '03 with Microns and asked the parts guy if the bags would work with them. He did some checking and said the Leo Vince and Staintune and a few others would work, but the Microns wouldn't. Just from eyeballing the Microns vs stock, the Microns are more rounded, while the stock ones are pretty flat on that side. (I really just needed a good excuse to get the new one.) :biggrin:
