I am running a set of softail HD bags on my bike, took the bracket loose from the bag and flipped if around and screwed it back down to the bag fit is almost spot on on the rear fender supports and at 150$ for an almost new set of HD bags I just had to make them work

I bought a tour pack from them that wasn't up to my standards. It had a missing decorative stud and was otherwise sort of fake leather looking. It would work, but I'd only use it in a pinch. I ran just the barrel bag portion for a week or two, then quickly replaced it. Just too cheap looking, but mostly because it's leather look texture was too pebbly to match my seats and saddlebags.

It is an inexpensive way to go and I'm sure it will hold up pretty well, I didn't get their saddlebags, so can only give you my impression of their tour packs. If that is your budget, then get them. That styling does look way better than most costing hundreds more.

On the other hand, my saddlebags are 6.5" W x 11" H x 16" L (top and bottom) and I consider that size to be on the small end of ideal. I can just barely fit in a Reda gas can and that is one of the most important functions of using my saddlebags on longer trips.
