Here's why I voted with my dollars for the K-Drives over the Triumph or Saddlemen bags:
- They're bigger, and carry a lot more gear (else why have them?)
- They clip (and lock) right onto the braces, which are much heavier chrome than the Triumph variety
- Being Iparex, they're far easier to care for than the leather variety (though they look like leather)
- Most important, the support arrangement at the back of the bag appears extremely strong, and is unlikely to pull out, as has been others' experience with the Saddlemen bags
But they're all nice-looking on the bike!
Good luck! It's a pricey decision however you go.
