Soft saddlebags: Triumph or Cortech
I'm looking to get some soft saddlebags for my Bonnie. So far it looks like I'll go with either the Cortech Sport bags or the Triumph soft bags.

The Cortechs are quite a bit bigger, but I'm not sure how well they will fit on my bonnie. I don't have or really want any rails or racks on the back, and I have the stock seat. I want to mount them under the seat, so if anyone has input on this setup I'd appreciate it.

On the Triumph bags, I'm hoping someone can post some pictures because the pics on the Triumph site don't really show much. Do they just have the strap that under the seat, or are there straps in the front and back as well? I suppose it is a safe bet that the Triumph bags fit better, but they are smaller and more expensive.

Maybe it's a stupid question, but does it matter if the soft bags rub on the shocks. I'm guessing it wouldn't hurt the shocks, but will it wear the bags out quickly.

Thanks for the info
