- April 13, 2017, 14:25:34 PMSo... I decided I wanted to try some hard bags for my 2001 800. I had looked at Mutazu bags online and saw that they offered a "burgundy" color. I contacted them to see if they could provide me with a sample of something with the color so I could see how it matched up with my bike color. No dice....got the typical answer...can't guarantee color match..blah blah blah...Anyway, I decided for $168, I could afford to bid on the LW model bags in burgundy....they have a "buy it now" price of $198 on ebay and on their webpage with free shipping, but also put them up at $168 starting price under open bidding (including free shipping). I put in the minimum bid and no one else bid...so I got them and they arrived in 4 days.
Well, they just came in today and....they match PERFECTLY.... The paint job isn't perfect by any stretch. There are a couple of minor flaws and a run on one side of one bag (will go on the bracket side to hide it), but overall I am very pleased with the color match. I plan on putting studded bibs on the lids to match my rear fender....
For the money spent, I am pretty happy. I pulled the side panel off to bring with me so I could check the color when they came in.....here are the results..
