Has anyone tried this guy to see what the bags look like? At that price it would be worth a try.
We all like to think of ourselves as rugged individualists. But when push comes to shove most of us are sheep who do what we are told. Worst of all, a lot of us become unpaid agents of whoever is controlling the agenda by enforcing the current dogma on the few rugged individualists who actually exist.

I'm calling him in the morning and hopefully will check them out on saturday. I've been staring at a lot of wings, but havent walked up to a stranger with a tape measure yet. Now thats a good way to start a converstation,(probably should have the wife do it).

I just talked to Luke at 978-531-9021. They do the trike conversions for Goldwings. That is why he is up to his a$$ in Goldwing saddle bags. I just ordered a set for $100 for the pair. He is going to get them out on Monday via cheapest possible freight. I'll let you know how they work once I've had a chance to try them out. At this price I figure I can't go too wrong.

Rather large? Understatement if there ever was. Friggin footlockers is more like it.

IMHO the best looking hardbags for our bikes can be found at BB Reproductions I'm old school like that. They can be painted, come in black or white, and they have actually built a bracket for the America/Speedmaster. Brent, you should contact them about selling their bags?

I've been looking at the Tsukayu Strong bags for my new Speedmaster, I love the clean look and nice curve on the lid. They have some shots of them on an America http://www.tsukayu.com/Strong%20Triumph%20Speedmaster.htm but I think they are too high and too far back. Would likely have to relocate the rear pegs forward, but I've seen parts for that at newspeedmaster.com.
