Of the OEM bags? Both the 99-04 and >05? I finally did my first real long distance trip in the '08 and I have confirmed my disappointment in the lack of space, and the exessive width(compared to an ST1300 my bikes WIDER! The bags should hold more with this being the case) Since I don't have a GIVI stocking dealer nearby I have to make a good guess at what will be bigger, and by how much. The previous gen bags were perfect, as far as I'm concerned. Great sized, easy to manage, and looked like a designed in part of the bike. Not just boxes hung on the side as an afterthought. Yes this still annoys me.
The big plus for the >05 bags is they were truly watertight in last weekends storm from Fayetteville, AR to home here in St Louis. That was a long damn day.
