BadBagger, I really like how the black pipes and a/c cover look on your wife's scoot. Looks better without the tank emblem, too.

I'd like to know how they keep these bags above me from sagging? They look pretty firm right now!

I keep my bags full of pillows and blankets during storage for the 1st two yrs and that alone kept my bags pretty good. But the 3rd yr the lids was starting to sag in the middle a little so that's why I added the PaPa bags braces..

I'll chime in on Saggy Bags, put them on a new 2011 a year ago and still look good.

Just put the Papa bags inserts in last night. Bags look much better! Makes putting stuff in the bags easier too since it holds them open.
