Bry is actually using the Police bags ... have the round 'hockey puck' latch on top and open from the center on 'outboard' hinges ....

I sometimes regret not going with the newer type bags ... because of my belief that they are more waterproof ... (I sometimes get a little water intrusion with heavy/sustained rainfall) ....

Guess it's not too late to change ... except I just got my brackets powdercoated ... think I might just replace the seals on the lids ... just try to waterproof my bags a little better ....

Work still in progress. RK leather bags. Currently getting painted with Honda Valkyrie hard bags. Bags are hard mounted using Shovelhead brackets.

I went with the old bubble bags and I love them. Have had alot of people say they don't like the way they look. Just go with what makes you the happiest and you won't go wrong happy hunting.

That's the price you pay for the quick detach bracket system. Mine do not hug the fender either. Another reason I'm putting a dresser rear fender on right now, so my fender will extend down the back of the bike like the bags do. Help it look a bit more in place.
