I got a slightly different model than the ones you displayed and I thought they were crap. The bags sagged without anything in it and my zipper started coming apart on one of them only after like 3 month. To its credit though, everything usually stayed dry in the rain.

Since I have finished school I bought a Cortech tail bag to hold the little things that I need to carry. I love it so far. Plus the tail bag is a lot easier to take off quickly.

I sure hope they aren't as bad but all other sites for these are over or close to a C note! Thanks for the heads up!

I've never been a big fan of the saddle bag look. Instead I decided to buy a tail bag and tank bag. Nelson rigg products are unbelievably durable and look pretty nice too. the silverstreak tail roll bag I bought works pretty well. and if I need to take it off its quick and easy and has a handle if needed. Looks like a gym bag.

buddies have the silverstreak saddles that match my tail bag, looks pretty nice and aren't too large.

Hey got em in from DK! Glad to say they aren't like the floppy ones you had!! Stand up, on there own pretty good! But things seem to do that when new and young!!!

Well mine were not floppy at first.

Have a great time there! I can't think of a better place to be about this time of the year!

I have had the Cortech sport saddlebags and sport tail bag for a year now and I love them.

I will only use these when or if ever the better half goes with me so there is a seat in the back, otherwise a overnite bag bungied to the r-seat is great on this bike. I did it on the trip to BOSS and its the way to go!
