kz750 ltd 1981 - panniers/saddlebags query was created by steelhorseangel
hi kzr's

i'm thinking about touring on my restored
bike. the trouble is there is no storage
on the bike.

does anyone know what luggage
will best fit a kz750 ltd h2 1981 please.
i've seen hard panniers that have built in
lights/turns.

i've asked all over uk and advised to buy
a harley or other. everyone has a harley,
as common as peas in pods!
in the uk, i've seen any kz's on the
roads, only at concorse shows.

just looking for ideas to carry some clothes,
prom/ball gown etc in waterproof luggage.
i don't like tail bags or tank bags.
the weight displacement would cause bob/weaving
at speed. my buddy suggested fringed
bags, old school!

any ideas/photos or there may be a
luggage system out there for the kz ltd.

many thanks if anyone else has done
something similar.

Have you looked at the KZ gallery pics? I was looking as pics in 750 fours gallery and saw bags I liked. They're Kappa bags on page 5, pic #64. When I googled Kappa it came up with dealers in France and Italy. Seems to be a few number of bikes with bags on them.

:ohmy: I just found your pics in the gallery so answered my own question.
