anyone have these and if you do can you post pictures. I am looking for bags that follow the speedmasters lines. Price is not the issue. I want quality and good looks.

Merle -
I think that is what I have - I dont have a picture posted showing them at this point. I took off the throw over strap, had my brother cut/weld 2 plates (1/4 in steel) to go inside to stiffen them up and mounted them on my Easy Brackets. Works very well, and they are bigger than the orginal Triumph slant bags. They do sag a bit, but not enough to bother me....
Part of my decision on purchase was the price, and I didn't want real leather or to pay for hard bags. I've had them on over a year now, and they are doing great.
I'll see if I can get a picture this weekend and post it for you.

I'm sure this is endlessly debatable but I think the saddlemen slant styles fit the lines of the bike nicely.

As do the K-Drive saddlebags.....a perfect fit for the lines of a Speedmaster

I'm starting to have a real problem with the plastic backing on the Saddlemen cracking, despite the inside support.
