I've heard they're more like briefcases and don't hold much. At $345 a pop I would say spend the money on real saddlebags.

Bag

Found a "bar bag" on the shelf @ a gig honda shop. Only one there- tourmaster $14.
Took it out & tried the fit- its on the bike! Tools + Lunch + Can fix a flat + Camera +
Light jacket + Gloves + Al the above together - . Works & looks good. O nthe pic page under Capt Don - search. W/ the Rennetech rack- all works good. Bag is waterproof.
It looks good w/ was the most important part!!

I got one of these things...and I can't tell you how awesome it is...Wait...sure I can. On Thanksgiving day...I had to make an emergency "I need an onion!" run...as well as a few other items...with room to spare, Riding the Bonnie...I bought:

1- Bag of cubed ice
1- Yellow onion
1- tub of butter
1- 3 pack Scotch tape
1- loaf of bread
1- deli hoagie (Don't tell my wife)

It'll get too heavy to carry before you'll run out of room...

It's water proof...has numerous pockets for all kinds of things, cell phone, pens, wallet, perfect pouches to hold my vitamin waters...gloves, jacket liner for warmer rides home from work...Awesome quality and comes in all kinds of colors! Then you don't ruin the lines of the Bonnie with saddle bags (Sorry, I can't do saddle bags on a Bonnie), and it's mobile...Just a thought.
