I use the Triumph bags every day, never take them off, I sprayed them with Kiwi waterproofing spray from new and they don't leak even in the thunderous south Florida downpours.I put the raincovers on if I have to stop to put on my own waterproofs ( which I carry in one bag part filling it), but when I forget they still decline to leak. I have 8900 miles on my completely stock Bonneville which is six months old and is (obviously) my daily rider, rain or shine. I also, as an aside use a topbox for its locking qualities around town, and a Parabellum 20 inch windshield.
I used to prefer hard bags in the bad old days but the slimmer fabric bags made of modern materials and suitably waterproofed do very well with less weight and encumbrance. The Triumph bags are worth a look if permanent mounting is desired (though they too could be attached over the seat and they are instantly removed from the supports).
