Default Tsukayu strong bags on Phantom

I apologize if I may have missed this somewhere on the forum..... I've spent hours searching here and other sites trying to see if they will fit the Phantom (or at least what they look like on the bike). I even called Tsukayu customer service and left a message a while back.

I've looked at leatherlykes, mutazu and the saddlemens, but after all the research I've decided to go with the tsukayus for the factory style look and durability. Its time I ditch the book bag and go hard bag.

I'd greatly appreciate a photo or some help letting me know if the strong bags or the jumbo bags fit.

Thank you for any help.

Go on their website and look at the fitment list for Honda. There is no listing for your bike but you bike is like a bigger version of the Shadow Slasher. I'm sure they will fit but signals most likely will need to be relocated. IMO your bike would look good with the corner hard bags they sell too. Good luck. Someone always has to go first.

^^ "someone has to go first!"

I gotta agree. I would really love to see them on your phantom before I buy some for mine!

Thanks for the advice SuperBoy. I suppose I'll be taking the plunge very soon and ordering them. Once I get them on I'll post the photos.

I think the 750 spirit has the same lines from the front of the gas tank back. So maybe the pictures of the bags on the spirit in the link below will give you a good idea of fit.

Mike, I think you're right on. Thanks for the help.

SuperBoy, I went with the pre-painted gloss black Strong Bags. I debated the LEDs, but I read mixed reviews on their power so I'm just going to relocate the turn signals (somehow..).
