has anyone tried them. Does anyone have pics? I am dying to buy bags and can't seem to be able to make discision. Saddlemans look good but fall apart, K-drive shape doesn't really match the bike and your left with mounting brackets showing when removed. The hardbags look like they are a little to big for the bike. E-Z brackets set the bags out to far and take away from its sleekness. Somebody please shoot me! I am sure there are issues with the large triumph bags also. The web site doesn't give hardly any information.

If these newer saddlebags are of the same material quality as the originals, then Triumph can stuff em.

Agreed - High Class Cardboard is more like it. I got a set of the traditional Triumph bags as part of the $1,200 end of year promotion and they are just junk. (They will end up on eBay shortly).
I bought a pair of Sequoia bags from Leatherneck Jim Leatherneck Jim and they are not much more expensive than the Triumph bags. It's the best quality leather I have EVER seen, bar none. Also, Jim was an absolute pleasure to deal with. I bought them with the brackets, but they are available with yokes as well.

I had the old triumph bags.. I didn't have any issues with them.. they even partially survived the 'mishap' last August. I got the larger ones as part of the $1200 promo too. Haven't installed them yet.. still winter up here...
Will keep ya all posted on the quality

A failure to communicate exists regarding Triumph's use of the word leather.
