I'm runnin' an over sized seat on the fxstc,(sundowner) and put on ghost brackets and their bags as well, and they were real easy to put on and stand out from the struts a bit. Look great and are better than the heritage bags and if cost is a factor are about half as much. Whole set up run right at 500 bucks, of which is still less than the heritage bags by a couple hundred.

Just bought the Ironbags, couldn't be happier. I've had more compliments on my bags than on any other acessory i've added. Took my seat to a saddle shop to be recovered in leatherto match my bags(had a custom tan dye job done on them) and the saddle shop was very impressed with the quality of the bags and thickness of the leather.

Silvrbill,
I thought you said that you had your seat redone, to match the bags?

I'm having it done. Dropped it off at the saddleshop before I left to come overseas again. I won't get to see it until I return to the states sometime in mid March.

I feel as though I have started an Iron bags revolution here LMAO. I second Iron bags, they are the best I have ever had.
