Anyone using "Saddlemen Cruisin Slant" bags? 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Anyone out there using "Saddlemen Cruisin Slant" bags and what size would you recommend? I'm runnin V&H Longshots on my 99 R*so I was lookin at going with the jumbos figurin they could clear the pipes.....The price seems right...Any recommendations or non-recommendations? (wow...is that a loaded question???)

Thanks ahead

Don't know about the Saddlemen Slant bags but I just got a set of U.S. Saddlebags and I am very pleased with them. They are nice heavy reinforced leather easy to install and remove, have a lot of features of more expensive bags at a very reasonable price. I got the them from S&S Custom Cycles
http://www.sscustomcycle.com/products/accessories/Saddlebags.shtml but you can see a video and get more info from the U.S. Saddlebag website
http://www.ussaddlebag.com/saddlebags.html if your interested. They come in several different styles, I have the studded ones, as you can see from my sig pic.

Slowride,
Thanks for the suggestion. The U.S. Saddlebags look like they are a very good quality product.

Thanks for the input.

Podar , I'm running them and love 'Em. I have them mounted to ghost-brackets, so they're not on all the time, but here's a pic (not great though) with them on. I'm using Jumbo's, enough for a modest pack for a road trip. BB

Awesome...thanks Big Bear. I was contemplating on the Jumbos or Xtra Jumbos. The jumbo's your are using look great. I'm thinkin the X-tra Jumbos might be a little too big.

No problem Podar. FB , I built the rack, which is removable , It slides in and out of its "holders" which are bolted to the Ghost brackets. It's a must have on road trips. And Yes , those blind spot mirrors are great too , quick peek , if Anything is in them , you know lane changing is a no no. I always look regardless , but It all starts with a look in those mirrors. You know how ATL. traffic is , every little thing helps. BB

M/C shops sell a bike specific blind spot mirror, they are smaller than the regular A/P store mirrors for your truck, so you still have use of the rest of the mirror. BB
