Yup, $280 with the brackets. Couldn't pass it up. Don't particularly care for the studs or the 3 straps (bags swing open from the rear), but for the price, I'll learn to live with it. And with the Ghost brackets, they'll only be on for trips.

I would say decent, but not much more.
Well got the bags the other day and I guess I'm happy with them. Edge makes leather bags and fake leather bags. They were advertised as leather but guess which ones I ended up with???
They fit the bike pretty well, although they stick out a bit because I have the detachable back rest. Don't care for the studs, I wonder if I can black them out somehow. And the three straps make no sense at all. The bag opens from the rear the the straps are just 3 extra steps to open them up. Now that I've read this post I guess my wife is right, I am a whiner. Anyway, my bike is usually set up like my signature picture. But a few times a year, I'll set it up for an overnighter with the wife. It takes about an hour to transform it to this (remove seat and bib, add seat and pillion, sissy bar, windshield, bags, passenger floorboards, tool box, and raise the bike up and inch.
They fit the lines of the bike pretty well.
They stick out a bit because of my sissy bar.
Bags are plenty big to hold my stuff and all the junk the wife brings.

I guess you would have to wonder why they make you pop the 3 buckles when it opens from the rear. Obviously it's just about the look, which I happen to like. Anyway, there are bigger bags out there but you did good. Mine are made to work with the stock pipes too and it's enough room for me. If I REALLY need room then I put the tourpak on. Bottom line, I think you'll be glad you bought them. They look good and the price was right.

I would say " yes"
My edge bags are few years old and they take a good beating , they are not leather but look like they are. No issues with weather, the only thing is that when my backrest is off the gap between the bags and the fender in about 1.5 inches, but if the backrest is off the bags are off most of the time. You can also use adheasive stickers on the bags to customiz
