These are pretty cool looking. I wonder what they are going to cost?

Really nice looking bag. My guess would be $1500 - $2300. Plain stretched bags with bubble top lids can run $1200.

Check out this new one from Bad Dad's. Not a smoothie but it also features a hidden latch system and is running $2145.

That is a sleek lookin bag. But it will take the right bike disign combination to look good. But then it would look real good.

Considering the fairing is $1649 I say the saddle bags are going to be excessively overpriced. Just my $.02

Re:New smooth saddlebag design 2 Years, 3 Months ago  
Those look nice and all but I have to wonder why most bags always have the boxy square design? All bikes have fender that follows the roundness of the wheel, then you hang a rectangular box off the side of them. Just doesn't seem right to me. That is why I opted for the factory Star Silverado hard bags ditching the leather soft ones. They just flow well with the lines of the bike/fender and when painted to match the bike looks right. Their capacity may not be up to the boxers but good enough for me and my usual stuff. Just my opinion. Anyone out there take a Yami hard bag and extend it? HMMMMM.

I agree, I think a yami bag that was deeper and a bit narrower would look great, keeping some flow with the fender.
