Is that a Reckless Fairing? Looks good.
Mike - Id say price out the Hard bags as compared to a good set of Leather bags, I was going to go the Hard bag route but had a set of custom leather Bags made that operate like hard bags. By the time you buy the hard bags, support brackets & flip your axle the Hard bags cost more - then throw in the lid covers to accent the Heritage styling.......? to each there own.

Oh do tell us, lol. I've spoken to a couple other members here regarding that fairing, both gave it high praise. I'm really looking to pull the trigger, maybe one of the Reckless guys can offer up a nice photo shoot.

Easy fix but.....check those fasteners,, other than that its a nice unit, looked at others and the costs can be up there, reckless was a good product at a good price. I'd buy again......!

No doubt the "Rushmore" bags (2014-newer) are the better OEM set.
I came across a set of vivid black ones a few months ago for $400 and considered pulling the trigger on them.
But then I looked at my $200 Amazon TCMT one's and they look and work OK.
I do however somewhat regret not going forward with the OEM Rushmore bags and will likely make a different decision next time a set come around.
In the meantime the TCMT set from Amazon work well and look pretty good.
Note: as already mentioned IMO the brackets are the most important and Cyclevision "Bagger-tail" is the best choice.

I think I am into mine for under 200 and my old stick shocks (for the repaint on my fairing & the lids [lids were mat black]).
Sold the old ones for about $50 so about $150 bottom line.
But it took about a year to find them.
