hey guys,  I just picked these up for the upcoming camping trip some  of us  from gstwin are going on in June...

does anyone else have  them, or have any opinions on them?  I'm just hoping they fit and work out nicely.

EWWW saddle bags!!! GROSS!!!

Well, it does have a "rainstorm cover cover included."   

So you've got that going for you.  Which is nice.

It is raining here.  I'm so pissed.   

you're a dog!  you said they looked "pretty cool" when I  showed you them.   

haha woof woof


edit: are those the same bags?

No direct experience with those, but my nelson rigg tankbag is great and Kerry's saddlebags and tailpack worked great for my week long trip last summer.  Instead of using the included rain covers when it rained, I packed all my stuff into big plastic garbage bags inside the saddlebags.   I think it was easier that way








btw, Kerry may be willing to lend out his matching tourmaster saddlebags and tailpack set to try out for the price of shipping, contact him for more info

thanks, but I already bought them.

Amanda, I like'em! How do they fit the GS? Will you post a pic of them on the bike when you get them? I would like to buy some reasonably priced saddlebags for the trip - and other little trips I take around over the summer - too. I don't have any luggage except for my tank bag which might hold a pair of socks. Haha.

So I like'em. Let's see a pic of them on!! 

I've drug mine around for about a 1000 miles. 
Good if you pack light.
I  prefer to snug the seat straps up 1-2" past flush.  It helps them ride a little more level.
I just loop the two back straps together and connect them across the back around the brake light.
Only problem is that to carry a full size lap top, you have to pull out the stiffener so the bag can hunch up around it.

I hope they work well as I have some waiting for me at home.

Nice Saddlebags... Gotta get me a pair of them...
