Get the biggest ones you can afford, you will be surprised how fast they fill up

You can pack a weekend in a backpack when you don't wear underpants

But for real I packed for Sturgis in a backpack and a duffel strapped to my back seat

B looks like it might be a little better made. It looks like it has two rivets holding the top half of the strap to the flap.
B looks like it'll shed water better also. It doesn't have the exposed edge on the band around the bottom edge of the flap.
The eagle on A is a little sportier

The sissy bar and pad that was mentioned above, is a good idea. You can set another bag on the seat right behind you and bungie it in place.

Don't forget some tip money for the cabana boy

I like the larger set. But don't forget with that type of throw over bag you will probably need the bracket that keeps it from rubbing the tire. The dealer sells that bracket for about $75. I think the part # is STR-5EL73-40-00

I agree with you on the quality of B. Ordered ....Next item on the add on list....luggage rack.

Oh, and can't forget about the cabana boy ... but where there is no pool, there is no cabana boy



there's always a cabana boy lurking around somewhere....lmao... and what I found frustrating with my soft bags was the size of the top...I can't get a 1 gal jug of milk into the bag even though it's big enough to hold it...imo
