Luggage

There are many choices in luggage for motorcycles. This is just a bit of information on the subject.

 


 

Luggage Racks

There are a few manufacturers that make luggage racks for the Vstar 1300. There are even fewer that make ones that work with the OEM sissy bar. This is a list of a few popular choices.

 

 

The OEM luggage rack which is advertised in the Yamaha Accessory Catalog, is a sharp looking rack but there have been several instances where the mounting brackets have failed. Do some research and make your own decisions, I am just passing information. Prices are around $150

 

Now that these bikes have been on the market for a little while, we are starting to see more after market products. This rack is new to the market. It features stronger mounts than the OEM rack and fits the OEM sissy bar. At $140, it is cheaper than the OEM rack.

 

 

 

 

If those racks didn't look like they will carry the weight that you plan to haul, there is always the wompus rack. They will fit with OEM sissy bars and can hold a substantial amount of weight but out weigh the competitors prices. A wompus rack will set you back $200 for bare steel or $220 with black powder coat.

Saddlebags

 

 

There are many options for saddlebags. Of course, Yamaha has provided an option of their own. The OEM bags are a leather wrapped hard bag that match the bike well and look sharp. The price is steep but not unlike other bags of this quality. The aftermarket has many options that can take care of an individuals needs. This is a list of websites/companies that offer saddlebags. (there are many more options...this list is not finished)
