    Hi gang,

    I searched this forum a little but couldn't find any specific recommendations on side bags (either soft or hard sided) for an 84 VF500F. So, sorry if this is a re-post.

    I'm worried that the turn signals on my bike are a bit more forward than most modern bikes and will interfere with any of the soft sided bags available, and I can't find info on any of the hard luggage manufacturers websites for a bike as old as mine. Has anyone had success getting luggage on a Gen 1 Interceptor? I have a nice tank and tail bag, but am looking for a little extra capacity for weekend trips.

    TIA,
    SixWatt

    It's not a side bag but you might want to check out the Ventura luggage. You can use that & your tail bag if they still have the brackets for the 500.
