My friend has the exact bags and they look good, they're big and they're strong. They make matuza look like junk....cause they are. ( no offense) Plus you get the mounts instead of dealing w mounting the HD bags. If I decide on hard bags it will be these or the jumbo strong bags. .   Logged     Democracy is two wolves and a small lamb voting on whats for dinner.

( no offense) I disagree with you hardbrgn...I had a set and what I've found is they are the same thickness as the OEM ABS Plastic Hardbags. Its all in how you mount them . If you mount them with only two points of secureness, then they tend to flap like wings...but I've found that with anybag you use, Leave it that way long enough and they're gonna break. I suggest 3 to 4 points where the bags are secured to the bike. Kai BTW those patrol bags will also flap like wings if you only have two points where they are secured to your bike.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/10/07 08:51 By Kaidallac.   May the Wind Always Smile upon you...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #549307 Kaidallac (Moderator) The Wind is the Spirit...

The way Corbin Beetle bags fit so close to the fender is because they hollow out the side that fits against your fender so that the drive belt and other things that stick out can fit with the beettle bags. The inside of the bags are tiny. They look really nice but don't hold very much...and they are very very expensive!!! But they look good. Kai I have a friend who had them on his Roadie, thats how I know.   Logged     Last Edit: 2012/10/07 08:41 By Kaidallac.   May the Wind Always Smile upon you...   The administrator has disabled public write access. #549698 DropkickFace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 921 Re:gonna buy these bags. whatcha think? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   Went ahead and bought them today $593 shipped & gloss black. Thanks for all the feedback. So they may flap huh ... Any ideas on mounting so they won't? Think easy brackets would be better ? -James   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #549704 icemanwingsofgoldmc (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 19 Re:gonna buy these bags. whatcha think? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   hey guys if any one is interested iam selling a set of hard bags with the stock hardware to mount them and geno's lowing kit its off my 2006 midnite silverado   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #549853 Ratl (User) Time is just, priceless and it expires.

The 'Ghost' brackets seem to be a little better quality than the 'Easy' brackets, but they both make me wonder about the 'flapping' Kai is talking about. Feedback please.   Logged     Some days you\'re the bug.

First off, they reported a 21-35 day lead time, but I got them in a week. Fit and finish were better than i expected, and I used the stainless steel permanent mounting brackets that came with, just because I thought the easy mount things would allow flapping. The bags went on quickly, they look amazing and hold a bunch of stuff. Jimbo Sorry the pic doesn't have the bags yet -- too busy ridin' to wash the bike for a photo session!   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #549879 Stevie (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 6438 Re:gonna buy these bags. whatcha think? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   DropkickFace wrote: Went ahead and bought them today $593 shipped & gloss black.

I was just thinking how cool it would be to have a nice small pointy sissy bar to put in those brackets when you take the backrest off for bar hopping   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #549900 DropkickFace (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 921 Re:gonna buy these bags. whatcha think? 5 Years, 4 Months ago   jplieben wrote: I got the Tsakayu "Coner" bags last month, and I'm lovin' them.

Good deal, Glad to hear they worked. A week ? WOW. They told me 14-28 business days. Fingers crossed for sooner too. -James   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access.
