Ehhhhh that is an old picture.  It is better now but it was a royal pain in the ass to put on..... it took hours!!!!!  I have newer pictures but none with the bags on since I took them off for winter storage.  And I dont take near the stuff with me since I am not riding it to work everyday.  But you are more than welcome to come on up if you think you can put it on any better!!!  LOL :flipoff: :flipoff: :laugh:

Wow the price on those is right.    How do they mount up and how secure are they?   Oh yeah do they have handles on top so you can carry them?

Thanks


Mount up with clip fasteners, just like the tourmaster saddle bags.  Have a handle on top that holds them together.  I have been using them the last few nice days here and I really like them.  Good quality.

And from Kerry's site, here is a great pictorial of how the Tourmaster bags work.  If you can get ahold of Kerry, he may be willing to let you try out his saddlebags & tailbag for the price of shipping. :o  They worked great for me on a 3000 mile trip from Houghton, MI to Bar Harbor, ME :thumb:

I have and regularly use the the tourmaster cortech non-sport tailbag and the mini-magnetic tankbag.   I'm going to buy the matching/strapping together saddlebags next for some camping usage. Tailbag is great, but I don't think I could fit that much stuff in it. 

I'm needing a rack for the back to strap a tent to. Thoughts?

You might think about a locking top case too... Like my Givi:

Thanks guys for all your responses.    I ended up going to a few bike places today and ended up with this.

Not exactly what I orginally had in mind but it will do the trick.   Thing is huge when its expanded.  Holds 30 L, 45L when expanded.    Rode home with it seemed really secure.    Held on by four built in bungees that hook perfectly under the tail.     One part unzips and you can wear it like a backpack.  Pretty cool tail pack.
