Default Osprey Buffalo Bags

I posted this in the general forum and it was suggested I ask over here.
I'm considering a set of Osprey Buffalo Bags. And while I know pics help a bunch, there's nothing like being able to see 'em in person.

I'm having a hard time picturing the zippered opening in my head, and no one wants to shell out bucks for bags and then not like how they work.

So...anyone near the eastern KY area have a set? If so, would you be willing to meet somewhere in the middle and let me check 'em out?

PM me if you're looking for an excuse to ride!

I just bought a set of those bags. If you can't find someone local I can send pics of whatever you'd like to see.

OS Deluxe, those look great! Are you happy with 'em?

I'd like some pics showing how wide they open at the top....I can't picture the zippered opening, so I'm wondering if they're obnoxious to get stuff into and out of.

Could you post or send me some? That'd be great...

OS, your bike looks killer with those bags. I've been kicking the idea around of selling my Springer bags and buying a set of Osprey bags. Looks like they make some quality bags.

Thanks, I hardly ever drag the pipes thanks to the air-ride system.

I am very happy with the bags. They're on or off in seconds. Excellent quality, lots of room and they're customer service is outstanding.

Thanks Santo, You could probably sell the Springer bags, buy the Osprey bags and end up with cash in your pocket... Those Springer bags are being sold for an arm and a leg these days.
