Yep. I know, and I'm not ruling out EZs... but that's the costliest option and since I rarely take the bags off - I'm considering the more economical options first. As you know, money saved in this area can be spent in other areas (on the bike, of course).
If EZs save my fender from getting all scratched up from the throwover strap... that would be another consideration. Gosh, what do non-Triumph owners spend all their time thinking about?
