Justin, do you think it would be completely unethical, possibly illegal, to post a link like this

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=34284&viewitem=&item=190087256036

...& ask if anyone here might be interested in a set of these?
Having sold my nice, shiny BMW racks, I seem to once again be conflicted about luggage, but have a set of these bags, in black, brand new, other than having been removed from their box (which I have) to see how they fit. I've been using a new tank bag lately, and the idea of having hard racks (for their mounting-point options) w/removable hard bags has regained its' appeal. All this talk of "new stuff" hasn't helped, either: buying bike parts is (nearly) my only shopping weakness.

This fine seller averages around $90 a pair plus $18 s&h, or appx. $108.
If anyone here was interested, I could probably put them into your U.S. garage for, say, 80 bucks??

Well, you've already posted and asked.  ;)  Do you think it would have more visibility in the section reserved for this sort of thing?  Maybe I don't understand your question, are you concerned with pointing to somebody else's listing?  Seems to me it's public domain and he's getting free advertisement...

Nah, I was just being a wiseass, while also showing my "ignorance of the law" in case someone really did have a problem with it... [smiley=deal2.gif]

As far as moving it to Trading Post, I dunno, what do you think?
I am but a lowly peasant without such decision-making skills or technological powers... [smiley=dizzy2.gif]

Those are like the bags on my '95 RT, I love 'em.  I have a spare set of "Z"-bar mounts to hack on and someday I'll find a spare pair of bags real cheap and try to make them fit a dual-shocker!  ;D
