Does anyone know if the OEM Honda bags are easily removable? I think I would like the ability to just remove the whole bag to take into work, home, etc...
Yes, I had a demo of the Honda bags at a dealership. Very slick mounting system. They are on and off in literally seconds and virtually nothing left on the bike when the bags are off. Very clean. Also, the bags are keyed to the ignition. One key for everything is a big plus in my books. The downside is the price... somewhere around $1200.00 CDN for two panniers, (29 litres each) and 45 litre top box. They are well made and do look good on the bike. I've never seen a good picture of them, in person they look much better. After owning Givi's in the past and seeing these in action, I would go for the Honda cases. Build quality seems to be on par with Givi but I like the mounting system much better - it's very similar to some BMW case mounts (R1200R/RT). I think the Honda cases look classier on and off the bike.
