Anybody try these bags?

Several sellers on eBay selling this saddle bag set.

The saddle bags seem to be just what I am looking for, and I might be able to use the other bags too.

Anyone have any experience with this set?

 

They look like an ok set, just watch your clearance at the badg for your saddlebags, they need to have at least three fingers between the bottom of the bag and your exhaust, if not possible damage to the bags or contents in side. Other than that they look like a pretty good set, I noticed they mentioned a cover for rain, so if your looking for a bag that is water resistant and won't let rain in just remember you'll have to stop and cover the bags if you run into rain. Biggest thing is your clearance from exhaust and rear tire, chain, The rake of the exhaust may get in the way, but can be move, I straighten mine to make enought room for bags, it under the post straightened pipes, look for it you'll see it, quite easy actually...

 

Check the shipping charges very closely. I found set like this only to find out that each bad is shipped seperately. The shipping was about $23 a bad which meant shipping alone for a 7 piece set was $161. Not such a good deal after that.

 

There is a guy selling the sets broken up on fleabay. Has just the saddlebags for $35. Shipping is $15. I pulled the trigger on a pair yesterday.

I'm planning to use the bike to commute to work. Those bags are short enough to clear the exhaust plenty, and big enough to carry my shoes and lunch. This top handles and zip off feature are what hooked me.

Hopefully I'll be able to throw my crap in them, ride to work, zip them off and carry them in like a couple briefcases.

I'll let you know how they are when they get here.
