They are actually for a 4 wheeler atv called a "tank bag" supposed to fit across the top part of a 4 wheelers gas tank but they actually fit my scooter perfect. its more like my scooter now has a couple pockets to put stuff in. roomy enough i can put my gloves, flashlight, rain poncho plus other stuff in them. Not big and bulky but just a little lightweight storage for out and about and the best part is they only cost me 13 bux ;)

cant seem to find my brand online but heres one thats for sale it will work on your scooter..even has a cup holder

Hey happyscooter, that works! The price? You're a winner! I've seen similar in bright yellow, damned if I can remember where now but the price was fair. Looking good and functional for a fun jaunt ;)

How did you secure the bottoms of the bags to the bike? I noted velcro attachment points on similar bags, but I'm wary of doing that to my brand new 150. :|

Are those official number plates? They look like they have been done with electricians tape

they are actually not secure with any velcro they are just held by the seat. I dont notice any problems with wind making them move. they stay pretty still.
