Default Saddlebag question

Just bought a 2025 low rider s. Decided on leather pros bags because they come in and off so cleanly. Trying to decide between the ez mount (30L) and the minis (10L). Not relocating my turn signals. Too much hassle and that bag is even bigger (40L). Do t think I’ll carry much. Hoodie, a book, bottle of water. Maybe pick up food on the way home. Think I can get away with the minis or should I size up?

I agree with size up. Apparently you don't carry tools, flat repair or rain gear.

I'd definitely look at the 30L, you never know when you'll need that extra space, not to mention, the mini may look a lil purse like silly. JMO.

I had them on my Dyna, great bags. I did have a set on my Heritage for a very short time.
