Default old skool throwovers

Been trying to get a set of throw over saddlebags for a while, after seeing a set on an old Indian (mmm, not sure if I'm allowed to say that here), that looked really nice.
Ended up with these after hours of trawling the net looking. Can't decide if I like 'em or not. They're really nice quality from JPCycles, made in California. Can't get them to sit level at the moment because of the stays underneath, hoping that will correct itself when they soften up a bit.
Anyway opinions please,

I'd put the fender bib under the saddlebag yoke. You might also look into brackets or bolting them on without the yoke.

That's what I was thinking too.

They are some looking bags.

Got a link on those? I love them! I have been wanting to switch out the Stock Deuce bags on my scoot for awhile now....Might pull them off and sell them, and use the money for these

I think I found them...Leatherworks?

They look good, but just be aware, in my experience throw overs will scuff the paint pretty good over time.

Here´s the link.

Yes you´re right about the fender bib, I only put it over because I´ve riveted the yoke together for security, and it hides the rivets. So now the zips are locked the only way you can get the bags off is with a key or a knife.
But now I´m thinking of going over the bib, which will look a lot better.

Any how, thanks for the replies, much appreciated.
