New FXDXT Saddlebags
It appears that there's a new player in the FXDXT saddlebag field. I've had LeatherPros at the top of that field, and still do, but these ones piqued my interest. The main thing that catches my interest is the price. These are $250 less than anything I've seen on the market.
Has anybody seen or heard anything about these?

250 less, but no mounting system. So figure another $150 for easy brackets or similar, which doesnt even come close to the solid mounting system the leather pros use. So you save 100. Not worth it. You're only buying these once. Saving a few bucks for a hacked together solution from an unknown eBay seller (any warranty either?) vs. the best of the best? Not much of a decision there imo.

For what it's worth, I can take the Easy Brackets off my current saddlebags, so we're back up to $250 savings.

Get the Leatherpros bags, you'll thank us later. Remember this, you get what you pay for. They are worth every penny. Easy brackets on those ebay bags would look just as crappy as they do on any other bag, not to mention they will stick out and rattle. I've had them on previous bags. Garry at Leatherpros makes top notch products and provides excellent customer service.

Everything was looking great until you get to the vendor...

Finally, somebody who addressed the bags I was asking about. I am fully aware of LeatherPros' well deserved rep. I'm not asking about LeatherPros' bags. They're top-notch. I know that. Reading comprehension seems to be an issue for some. I was simply hoping to get somebody's first hand experience with these bags.
You're right, the picture isn't that great, but the stitching looks poorly done. Thanks.
