Re:Show your bags... hard or soft 1 Year, 3 Months ago  
You can see mine in my sig pict. They were the biggest I could find at 21.75" x 8.5" x 12". I can fit tons of stuff in there and especially like that they have pockets sewn into each wall on the inside and one outside for sunglasses and gloves etc. That said, the conchos and studs rusted out pretty badly after only 6 months. The good news is, I only paid $98 shipped from ebay and they have a lifetime warranty. I just sent them back to the mfg and they are replacing them for free... well sort of free, I had to pay $30 shipping to send the old ones back. I think i'm going to invest in some Ghost Bracket and just not leave them out in the rain anymore. ..And if worse comes to worse, I can get them replaced again...

Are the OEM Yamaha hard bags better than the Mutazu RS hardbags? They're more expensive, aren't they?

My bags are like Tugs, but without the silver studs/buttons. Otherwise, the same bag. I don't have all of the silverado trim on the seats either. Just a lowly 01 Road Star.

I put 12 pieces of chicken in a box, a container of potatoes and gravy(from Churches if it matters ), two packages of hamburger buns, and two library books in just one side.
I didn't even squish the buns.
Everything is leather, except for the side that faces the bike. It's a heavier plastic. Don't know if the newer ones are like that or not. The silver buckles are good quality. Over all, I think their a really decent bag.
