Looks nice! You should be able to mount those saddle bags under the rear seat to clean things up a bit:

Yeah it does look a lot better with the saddle bags under the seat. And thanks for the comments everyone.

Shipman, very cool looking GZ - the red color is indeed sharp! I just bought my '06 and I'm looking for saddle bags and a windshield. What brand and sizes are these on your bike?

Philbert, the ones on my bike are Tourmaster and are approximately 17x9. (Length by height)

However, I would go with a little smaller ones if I were purchasing them, but these came with the bike so I am happy with them. Sorry for the delay.

Thanks for the info ShipmanX2, why would you go with smaller bags? Do they hit the exhaust or do they just cramp your riding?

Well I love that I'm able to put textbooks and my laptop in them, however I think they are a little big for the size of the 250. When I mounted them under the seat, they rested on the exhaust, so for now I had to put them back on top of the seat. I personally like the look of bigwonton's saddle bags better.

Welcome Brother. Great color.

You can install a metal shield on the bottom of the RH bag if you want to drop them down, then it won't matter if it touches the muffller. Search the site and you'll find these suggestions.

Ride safe.
