FlyingFinn Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have a small request for someone who's going to the Long Beach International Motorcycle Show this weekend. In the San Francisco show I saw a product in the Kawasaki area that I really want some more info on. But i got distracted and forgot to go back and talk to the guys, only remembered it later at home that night... There's nothing I can find on-line so I'd appreciate if someone who's going the Long Beach show could help me out and do some investigative work at the Kawi booth. Big thanks already in advance! -- Mikko Link to comment
johnlt Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Mikko, they were called "D" cups; they will probably be on display at the Long Beach show also. Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Mikko, they were called "D" cups; they will probably be on display at the Long Beach show also. But what I was wondering about is if they are OEM or after-market... -- Mikko Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I would guess there are some of each variety. Be a little more specific. What other items at the booth did you have your eyes on? Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 What other items at the booth did you have your eyes on? The item that I did have my eyes on was soft tail bag on a Ninja 650. They had few of the 650's on display and one of them had a semi-soft expandable tail bag on it attached to the passenger seat. The bag looked clearly OEM, fitted very well and if I recall right it had the word "Ninja" printed on top of it on a rubber trim. I'm pretty sure it was on the Ninja 650 but who knows what bike it's originally made for. At the time I though to myself "that looks really neat, I'll have google it up when i get home" but I've found NOTHING on-line about a Kawasaki tail bag for Ninja 650. Kawasaki does make soft bags for some of their bikes so seeing one on the 650 didn't seem surprising. If someone's going to the show and don't mind killing some time in the Kawi booth, for what ever reason, I'd appreciate if they could ask the Kawi staff about that bag. -- Mikko Link to comment
12R12RT Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Mikko - I'll be there on Saturday. Want I should do some looking and shoot some photos, maybe get you a part number? Tom Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 Tom, if you could do that it would be absolutely great! Thanks. -- Mikko Link to comment
12R12RT Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Mikko - Drop me a PM if you have a cell number you want pics and info sent to. Otherwise, I PM you with what I learned. Tom Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 I'm surprisingly low-tech for an engineer type, my cell phone can make voice calls and text messages, that's it. I'm really mostly interested in a) is it a Kawasaki accessory and b) where can I buy one. Pictures would be appreciated though. I'll PM you with my email address. -- Mikko Link to comment
CoarsegoldKid Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Soft tail indeed. Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 7, 2011 Author Share Posted December 7, 2011 Considering the riff-raff that mostly hangs around here, I'm not surprised this thread was in the gutter pretty much from the beginning. Link to comment
r77toy Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Here's some pics, nobody knew anything about it : And here's the kicker : Maybe made in the USA. Link to comment

notacop Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Do you really want "Kawasaki" emblazoned on the soft derriere luggage on your beemer? Link to comment
David13 Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 I just got back from the show. I didn't see much in the Kawasaki area, but since I was over at the Gerbings booth, right next to Brammo, I looked at Brammo. They had some fantastic original equipment over there. dc Link to comment
r77toy Posted December 10, 2011 Share Posted December 10, 2011 Do you really want "Kawasaki" emblazoned on the soft derriere luggage on your beemer? It also has " Ninja" embossed in the lid. Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Do you really want "Kawasaki" emblazoned on the soft derriere luggage on your beemer? This bag's not going onto a BMW. -- Mikko Link to comment
FlyingFinn Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 Eric, the count is not correct anymore. We've got rid of few bicycles Kathy, thanks. I like my garage too, my favorite room in the whole house. -- Mikko Link to comment
