Default Hardstreet bags installed

Well at least mocked up. I'm in the process of breaking them down to be painted. I think they turned out good, the only thing I don't like which I knew I wouldn't like is the big *** gap from the rear because I used the easy brackets and I have the quick detach hardware. They would look a lot better without the quick detach hardware but I really like using my solo rack so it's going to have to stay. It really isn't as big as it looks on the left side in the last picture, it was just the angle but the gap is pretty big regardless. If anyone has the standard hardware, how long does it take to detach the bags? I think if it's not too long, I might go with that since I won't have the bags on too much.

I wouldn't be very bothered by that gap, those are good looking bags and seem to flow well with the bike. I might consider a mud flap to better line up the fender tip with the bottom of the bags, but the setup looks great.

I definitely agree that they flow well with bike. I think I'll be ok with the gap eventually especially since I'll be on the bike and not behind it. LOL

Once you paint them black the gap will not be as noticeable.
