yea. i have looked at it about 20 times this week me and him are emailing back and forth and he was kind enough to send me some pics of the brackets he built and gave me some advise on how to do it. they are gunna cost a pretty penny though $1600 for the bags and brackets and costs to adapt the brackets to fit my roadie . my bags are allready claimed so i guess i dont have to worry about that .

A few people mounted matazu rs bags on the stock mounts with a few simple mods with a hack saw.

I have these bags. $350 shipped. Yes, they are abs plastic, but I was looking for style more than actual function. The do hold a ton, but as mentioned they can be seen as flimsy. For the money, I'm very pleased.

Hmm, lots of interesting ideas.

Has anyone heard anything of Tsukayu bags? http://www.tsukayu.com

the tsukaya bags above will make your leather oem bags look tiny in regards to width. It makes the R* look like a fat as*. Some people like that though

I've been looking at hardbags for a while now, and I've looked at the more "economic" bags also. The bags themselves look nice, no problem there. What discouraged me was the extremely cheesy mounting hardware they give you to use. I'm sure they're nice bags if you have the time to put in the brackets. But I haven't seen any of them in person so I could be totally wrong too
