Anyone have these and what do you think? I am having to purchase bags and easy brackets for the SWTF. I am trying to decide between these and Willi and Max Revolution bags. I think some folks here have the Saddlemans.

Paul, Just make sure that the dimensions of the Super jumbo bags will fit between your shocks and rear indicators.
You must reinforce the inboard side (the side the brackets fasten to) of the saddleman bags. I used both plexiglass (Vera Lynn) and 1/4" plywood (Cinnamon Girl).
I have the jumbo Saddleman bags btw.
The Willie and Max bags albeit good bags are more flimsy than the saddleman bags. needless to say these need the inboard reinforcements too.
tip: When you re-install the fender rail bolts you might need to grab the fender and jostle it so the bolt holes line up.

I have the saddleman Drifter bags. Size large. I really like the bags, They've been on the bike for over 3 years and are still in good shape. The only thing is, wish I had gotten a size bigger (Jumbo).

Check this out: http://www.ussaddlebag.comCustom made for our bikes. I searched for months before deciding on these for my Speedy. People think they are custom bags. They still look brand new after 3 years & 25,000 miles. Sorry for no photo...total rookie here.

I had the drifter large and switched for the jumbo. These are more practical but they make my bike look fat. I'd be afraid that with super-jumbo you'd have to start shopping in different stores.

i have the drifter slant jumbos. i think they look fine, but then again firmly believe women prefer a man of girth.
