I love the look of these bags. They look great and go well with our motorcycle. The one thing that I do not like about the bags is how they sit on the seat of the motorcycle. The seat is wide and so the velcro straps are at the maximum length that they can be. The bags lean inward and under the seat. They only come with two bungees and it is a real trick to find a way to attach them without having them touch the pipes or the back wheel. After about 15 min. and help from another brain, we were able to secure them well enough. I hope that ones they are filled with gear, they will be less of a concern.

Rolling Bag

We just got this bag and it certainly is a beautiful bag. We love how much space it has and how it compliments the bike. The one problem with the bike are the rolling wheels. They do not allow the bag to sit flat on the luggage rack. You have to put the bike a little lopsided to have it flat on the rack. Also, the rain cover only covers the back and sides of the bag, not the whole bag. Otherwise, it is very beautiful and we know that we will get a lot of use out of it.
