Default hd hard bags

I have had these bags on since I purchased the bike. They were already on there when I bought it, I'm not crazy about them but my girlfriend likes them. I was just curious if it would look better with some black leather bags? Give me your honest opinions.

Well I think they look pretty good. Do you have a quick detach kit for them? I have had leather bags and hard ones on different bikes, and I like the hard ones, less care and always water tight and lockable. I guess if it were me, I would keep those and have the ability to take them off for solo riding- bar hopping and snap them back on for trips. They look good! They go with the lines of the bike.

IMHO they take away from the bike. Give them to her as a matching set of purses and get something less pod-ish.

Here's a pic of some black leather type bags as a comparison. IMHO I like bikes with no bags at all but it isn't practical for me. If I ever get a job again and still have my bike at that time I will get some quick detach mounts. These work for now.

Thanks for the pic phatman.I was wondering what black leather would look like. I agree it would look better without any bags but they do come in handy alot of times.
