Hey all just wondering if anyone knows of any shops that sell SW Motech products in or around the GTA. I was looking for the Blaze Pannier side bags for my Ninja 1000 but A Vcious Cycle and Twisted Throttle are out of stock and don't expect to get any for 6 to 8 weeks. I know its unlikely that any store would actually have the specific model i need in stock but can't hurt to try.

SW Motech products who carries it?
- Thread starter Gmannorth
- Start date
Avicious is the Canadian rep for TwistedThrottle, so I assume they'd both tell you the same story.
Good luck.
Not me.

order it online.
Have you called twisted throttle directly or are you taking a vicious cycles word for it that they are out of stock?
I ordered mine from a vicious cycle... after weeks of waiting, and getting zero updates from them, when I called I would get the run around.. first they were coming later that day, then later that week.. then they didn't come.. then they blamed it on twisted throttle being out of stock.. finally got fed up with the terrible service, cancelled my order and called twisted throttle directly.. they tried to be politically correct when talking about their distributor but log story short they had them in stock the whole time and apparently a vicious cycle magically has these issue frequently. Anyway.. twisted throttle offered to sell them direct, but shipping from the US was a little pricey. They pointed me to a full list of Ontario distributors on their website (there are lots!). I ended up calling up Edge Performance in Bradford and I had them in a few days.
P.S. They are awesome bags.

A bit more detail might help people who are in the market. What do you like about them?
Fair enough.
If you know anything about these bags, you know that what is unique about them (and makes them ridiculously expensive) is the mounting system. They come with bike specific mounting arms that mount to the rearsets and can snap on and off almost without a trace, making them almost as sturdy as hard bags, without that hideous givi rack being left on the bike if you ride it without the bags..
Because of this they do not move, or sag whatsoever. They are also bigger then they look, they can hold quite a bit of weight, and while they are soft bags, they are actually rigid and retain their shape even when empty.
Thanks Just_Luc I did contact twisted throttle directly but they also said they are out of stock and it would be 6 weeks. Good to know you like the bags and have real world experience with them. The mounting system is what caught my eye with these bags. Looks like they won't come in till after my vaca so I might put it off till next year but I might take your advice and just order it from Edge Performance then. Thanks.
