Anyone here know where there is a cycle shop that has a decent selection of saddlebags? Most of the places around here (Kitchener) only have a limited selections.

Bike show this weekend at the international center, great deals and you won't find a bigger selection. There's even a GTAmotorcycle booth there!

I got some RoadKrome semi-rigid saddlebags for my bike ordered from Royal Distributing. I dont remember the model name but im very pleased with them. They came with quick disconnect brackets and a keyed lock. They were a little on the pricey side but they are bigger then most offered for my bike
Very pleased with them.

If I remember from previous posts you have a Vstar i think. So if you can swing it I purchased a set of cruiseliner hard bags from classiccruiser.com in the states. They're water tight and lock. Will set you back about $500.00 brackets and all. I had to install a set of lower profile rear signals. They give you a relocation kit for the signals but its a dumb setup. P.S. They don't have graphics by the way. It's just a $2.00 decal from Crappy Tire.

Correct, 1100 custom. I like the style and practicality of hardbags but the banker (wife) only gave me a budget of $300. I've already found and mounted some the hangers (brand new OEM's for $39!) so I'm just trying to decide on the right ones. I'm currently leaning towards Talisman Bolt On bags (http://saddlebagsbytalisman.com/prod...products_id/65).
When I was shopping for a trunk, I came across this place:

If you want hard bags, they have lots of options for well under $300, even with signal/brake lights.
If you are interested in bags that look like leather but are rigid and lock, check out leatherlyke.

As for the "banker" you have a few options:
1) Pay cash and burn the receipt before she sees it.
2) Buy the bags you want and tell her "I'm the man of the house and I'll do what I want!" Just make sure you have already set up the tent in the backyard as you may be sleeping there a few nights.
3) Buy the bags you want and buy her a present to keep her from getting too mad.
4) If you're like me, you have a big stack of empties in the garage from over the winter. Return them to the beer store and you'll probably make up at least 25% of the difference between the banker's budget and the cost of the bags you want!
