Saddlebag debate, kgo. 11 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
I'm currently on the hunt for some hard saddlebags for my baby. I have the stock leather bags, but think they are way too short and fat to suit my girl so they are sitting on a shelf.

I've looked around on the interwebs, but haven't found anything that jumps out at me and screams "Buy Me!!"

So, give me your $0.02 please.

Key things for me:

Look (I want them to flow with the bike's lines)

Price (I mean...c'mon, I have better things to do then spend $1500 on a pair of bags)

Durability/Ease of Use/Mounting

Thanks!

Check these guys out.

I picked up a set of the Road Hog bags and man are they sweet. I prefer the 'classic Indian' look for my bike so I'm sticking with larger leather bags over hard bags.

Good luck!

What ever you decide, makr sure you stay away from the abs plastic ones. They are way to flimsy. I sure wish i had my studded stock bags back now. Lol. If you decide to sale yours please let me know. Lol.
