Bags for a V7 Stone Special Edition

Just learned the hard way about V7 850 Stone/Special and "Special Edition" differences. Because of the Arrow exhaust the "Special Edition" also has different passenger foot pegs so things that attach to exhaust mounting point won`t fit (like H&B C-bow) :( So it is same thing with slip-on exhausts. On the positive side; I learned this before buying exhaust. Now I only have wrong C-Bow mounting kit :)

So exhaust options for "Special Edition" are pretty low ? Mistral seems to mention "N.B. For the installation of the exhausts, in case of possession of the Special Edition version, it is necessary to purchase the relative specific brackets" but doesn`t seem to offer those brackets.

I see it now :D I`m not sure was I really so blind or wasn`t it available in the november when I ordered. Will see how hard it is to buy. Can`t buy straight from H&B because we have "local dealer" in Finland but it`s not available via their website yet.

But this really changes things and now I wish I would have regular Stone.

I don’t like the matte paint so much. The Special Edition is a beauty. Sometimes we put up with the faults….
 
I`m reconsidering my choices so what other options there is for "Special Edition" than H&B C-bow ? Unit Garage offers soft bags, Franco Cuoio makes leather side cases, Givi doesn`t offer anything for Special Edition.
Considering rear rack too so it would be nice to be compatible with them but not necessary.

Anders, have you looked into changing the brackets for the rear footpeg and exhaust to a non-special edition Stone? Perhaps that will allow you to use your C bow kit and choose a different exhaust.

Thought about that too because it would solve two problems at once, but "regular footpegs" are pretty rare. Just found out the ones in the photos. No mention about model but for me they look like Stone/Special passenger footpegs ?
Another problem is where I get the money to buy aftermarket exhaust in couple months :D My plan was to tour with stock bike next season and start modification in winter 2024-2025.

I really like the look of the Arrow exhaust, but drilling the db-killers off is pretty hc-solution and if I ever need to put em back it needs welding (which I cannot do). Also some countries have pretty strict dB regulations which can be problem when touring. That`s why I have thought about Agostini/Mistral exhaust. Their dB-killers can be taken off and put back easily when needed. Yesterday I spent time thinking how I could modificate Arrows so that dB-killers could be attached with bolt...no solution so far :D

EDIT: Deleted the link and added the photos. It`s hard to get used to these policies but sooner or later :)

Anders, let us know what you do with the luggage issue. I've run Givi Monokeys on two bikes and love them, but the Bingly Wheeler posted several You Tube vids on how the different exhaust mounts on the SE prevent the Givi V7 rack from fitting. I think a shim could have been used to make them work, but he also said the upswept Arrows would prevent the bags from fitting. I've got some soft bags that do the job, but greatly prefer hard cases.
