Looks like they may work with easy brackets. They are plastic instead of fiberglass though, don't know about the durability. The price looks good enough to try if you like how they look, especially with turn signals built in.
Always remember to be yourself. Unless you suck. Then pretend to be someone else.

I wish I had my rebuild money now I would get a set to try. I like this style. I wounder how hard they would be to mount. I have soft bags what other brackets would I need. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycl...sQ5fAccessories

Man those would be a PITA to use with the little side door. Mine are clamshell style and they are a pain sometimes, too.

With the turn sigs built in you might as well hard mount them. Otherwise you would have to unplug them (a simple fix) but still have to have the original sigs if you want to go a little skimpy (sans bags).

I think that signal might interrupt the lines of the bike.

A buddy of mine bought a set and they are so flimsy and small that he didn't even bother trying to mount them. I'm sure he'd cut somebody a deal on them...Actually, i just confirmed it. $100.00 to your door, anywhere in the lower 48. It's this set: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Motorcycl...sQ5fAccessories

The top loading ones are small, but ok if you don't put any luggage above them - then you can't open them. The side loading ones are fine for what they are. I've had mine for awhile now and I keep all my essential stuff in them. Rain suit, extra gloves, neck warmer, tools, etc... They are what they are - probably made in China. They work for me. I'm still trying to figure out a clean way to wire the lights in to my running lights and be able to disconnect them (easy brackets) without some pigtail left hanging.... BF bags thread

I'm looking for something that is bigger then my textile triumph bags and a lot more water prof. Think the side loading one would work? I use my bags for daily stuff back and forth to work.

well i hate to say this but they look like the cheap nasty rubbish panniers on the chinese import cruisers and i had plaenty of them. the locks are pants they are not waterproofed very well but these do have a indicator in the lids but if you get the ones from chinese bikes they about £40 but have a blanking plate in side view of them on my old bike  or just do a search on google for a JL125-11 and you will see loads of these panniers

They aren't water proof. They aren't what I would call "luggage". I have a set of the Triumph fabric bags, and though I've never actually used them, they probably hold more than either the top or side loading hard plastic Chinese bags, simply because they're square, and they will "give" a little bit. But they aren't "luggage" either. The problem, in my opinion, with saddlebags on these bikes is that if you get them large enough to be "luggage", you may run into clearance problems between the shocks and the stock turn signals. There are work-arounds for this of course, but these bikes aren't Road Kings or Goldwings. Too big just doesn't look right to me. Again, my opinion. Whatever works for you...... Like I said above, they are fine for carrying the essentials when you're cruising around locally. Maybe even for an over-nighter. But they aren't luggage......
