wow
These things are awesome, have WAY more room than I thought they would. Fit my 87 cbr 600 hurricane like they were made for it, go on and come off quick and easy, don't cause odd wind disturbance (you know, "the wobbles")look great, and do in fact mate up with the Tail Bag perfectly. Only problems I have discovered are: 1) a little interference with passenger footrest access while riding passenger (tail bag removed)and 2) they do lift up and out a little at the bottom... when I JUMP rail road track crossings. Yeah, I probably shouldn't be airborne with all that luggage (I also have the old Eiffel II stack tank bag), but they all stay put so well I have the utmost confidence riding as aggressive as the weather and road condition allows. If you're in the market these are the ones you want. P.S. Get the Deluxe those two extra pockets go a long way...the weather covers fit in there with plenty of room left for a pair of frog toggs etc. The extra cost is more than worth it. My buddy did not get the deluxe ones and now that he's seen the extra stuff I can carry he's mad at himself.

Nelson-Rigg Classic Series Deluxe Saddle Bags
Super bags, fits my 1200 Bandit perfectly, love the life-time guarantee, more space than I figured, with lots of little inside pockets for tire gauge, pen, cards, sunglasses, etc. Got the stiffener in fairly easy, but at 61, probably have more patience than some of the younger guys, so just take your time. Haven't had to use the 100% guaranteed rain covers (one of the selling features), so hope they work as advertised. Am going to order a 09 tail bag, for the quick release snaps that fit my bags. My buddy liked them so much, he got the smaller pair for his wife's bike, and she is very Happy-- keep that in mind you younger fellas !!! Al.
