I'm very happy with the way it looks. The Saddlebags don't match exactly but that's really hard to do with brown. Overall I think she looks great and the seat is really comfortable. I had them lower the seat 1 inch and put a special gel insert that is sandwiched between layers of cloth.   [image]  [/image] [image]  [/image] [image]  [/image]

Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

Very nice looking! I think that brown looks especially good on green bikes. Well done!

Nice! I like the green and brown look as well. Do you think the new stuff may fade a bit over time and match the saddlebags better after all? Still looks good regardless.

I think the seats will fade a bit but I may replace the bags next year with hardbags and have them painted Goodwood green to match the bike. I'm not thrilled with those saddlebags.

better check the paint before you go hard bags unless you are going to paint the fender too. Throw over bags tend to scuff up the paint where they make contact with the fender if they have been on a while.

Actually they just went on and I'm going to hard mount them like my old Saddleman bags so they won't screw up the fender paint.

Once or twice, they make a heck of a mess.
