I don't get it? 5 Years, 2 Months ago  
Ok, I'll wait 5 minutes for everyone to type in the first thing that pops into their heads. tick tick tick tick tick. I'll start it off.

Gee Musky. What a surprise

So what else is new

No! not you!

All righty then. I don't get it. We will drop 150 bucks on bling that serves no other purpose than to look at without a second thought. Won't make the bike run better or get you home on a rainy ride. But we don't want to spend more than 30 bucks a season on oil / filters.

I look for our motley group of Roadie riders to enlighten me.

you know the old saying when building race cars.
if it don't go chrome it .
if it do go paint it.
and if it does neither
parts left out cause no wear

Re:I don't get it? 5 Years, 2 Months ago  
Thanks musky..
Do the bags hold their shape? Are they weather proof? Are you satisfied with them? Just curious.. Im in the process of buying some bags, I priced the one from the dealer and I think they are too expensive. I have a 2005 roadstar 1700 its my first bike and Im new to all this. Thanks for you help.

Good question Musky.

I'm not averse to spending more for oil and filter, I just happened to buy what was convenient at the time. I'll more than likely switch what brand of oil and filter I'm using after I use what I've stockpiled. I'm not saying what I'm switching too cause I dont' want to open the oil can of worms again.

Hey cw

Don't get them if you are looking for a permanent set. They're OK for $140 bags but they are just $140 bags. Thin, Floppy, Stiff as heck in cold. I just got them to use until I decide what bag I want for sure. I do like the style though and the pockets on the outside are great so I'm even thinking about getting a set made just like them but in good heavy leather.
