How much do you want to spend? I have the Leatherworks bags and Easybrackets which were a bit pricey.   If I was to do it again, I'd stick to hard bags. Some of the other fellows will probably post pics of their rides. Keiths looks very nice.

I went with Tourmaster box style bags; love them so far. Also picked up the med. luggage bag; that thing's got some room! Sorry, no pics yet.

Tons of options out there. Lots of us also use the EasyBrackets and usually reinforce the bags. Extra work but well worth it in the scheme of things.
A word to the wise is not necessary. It is the stupid ones who need the advice.

you can order your hardbags primed only for less money and paint to match if you choose

I have Edge 102 bags on Easy Brackets. Liked them so much on my wife's Speedmaster, I bought another set for my own Speedmaster! [image]  [/image] They are from Edge Leather http://www.edgeleather.com/Edge-Products/Edge-Rigid-Saddlebags/Model-102.htmlI have them in Tek-Leather. All panels are reinforced, and these bags are very strong. I put on the Yamaha reflectors. H.

I have a set of the large Triumph "leather" bags, they work great.
I am actually looking at hard bags and easy brackets now that I've swapped to the solo seat.
If you want my barely used Triumph bags, PM an offer.
