Lol! It'll be better once I get the saddlebags mounted. Right now I'm assembling then one screw at a time off of diagrams alone. so a but of a learning curve.

Decided to re-tool the mount design to better work with more options. I was able to ride the last setup round trip to NY, but the quick release parts were oddly mounted. I also was a tad bit wide on the connecting holes which made it shake a bit more on the bumps. This will hold them in there a lot better. Just need to get the corners bent and will be good to go.

I might cut out a center hole in the top to remove some unnecessary steel. But for now I just want to get the holes drilled and everything assembled. The hard bags are more complicated than I expected. All sorts of screws and latches. The way it will work though is the tp will lock on first, followed by the hard bags and taking off will go the opposite direction. What I've learned though is the size is fairly awkward. So the whole thing needs to be empty to easily take it off our put it on.

It serves a purpose, and it's different.... kinda like a car wreck you can't look away from. I love it man!

Overall though, the lines are not too bad and the bags come off the fender at the same angle. so at least it kind of looks like it was made for it. 
Still want to rubber tip the connecting points. The lines are a hair loose up there and noticeable on the bumps. Overall pleased though! more pics once I finish getting the bags put together.
