I bought a pair and sent them back. Extremely poor quality, plus they also said they were height adjustable in the description and were NOT. That made them unusable even if i had wanted to keep them. jafrum refused to pay return shipping even tho they sold me a bag that was not usable due to an error on their part. they basically insulted me for even assuming i could get return shipping. And this by the way AFTER one of their operators had already told me i WOULD get paid for the cost of return shipping. lousy bags, lousy company.
I'm not saying they're all bad because some as you see are happy with them. I do feel tho that unless the ones i got werea fluke, most who are happy with they would not know what they're missing if they saw a set of willie and max.
So if you want some definate good bags, do what i did and go to willie and max. Their bags look like leather but are faux leather and look great. for only about $20 more i went from what i felt were junk to bags i was thrilled with and were constructed perfectly, were completely adjustable, and looked really great. However, as someone already said, you will need brackets to keep them from flopping around and/or hitting things and getting caught in the works ! you can make your own pretty easily, but whatever you do count on getting brackets.

Ignore the prices. Mine listed for $127 or something like that and i paid i think $80 at an online store who's name i cannot recall at the moment. . The prices on the W&M site are list so pay them no mind. i got the braided compact slant bags. Very small tho !! thats what i wanted, but i would suggest for most people go at least with the standard size if not large. the compact are barely big enough to a 6 pack in each. Not that i'd ever use them for that.
