I really like the seat, and the pinon seat is so-so, but the bags are as you say, UGH! Because the tires have such a large (wide) white wall, the thin piping on the bags really does not go well with them at all. I would also agree that you should wait and see if it grows on you, after all, it does not matter what others think as long as you like it. If after a few weeks you still don't like it, I would get a jumbo poster size Sharpie and color the trim AND stitching on those side bags. I also think that since you have just a plain tank, instead of some fancy flames, you do need the badges like the white ones shown on the last two pages of this thread to finish it off.

socal714, I think the bag looks great, but it might be a bit too much with the seat, and pillion on there as well.

I am sure you can get a better price from any on-line dealer.
As on the seat and the bag ... yup seat suits nicely, the bag not so sure that white piping a tad too much!
Nice bike though.

a 150 bucks?!?! They are only $48.95 for both and the adaptors are $23.95 for a pair. That's MSRP.

Bag looked lovely when you posted it off the bike..... but, it a bit too big with the piping and stitching is too much.
Either a large plain black 'bag' or as others said, a smaller one with diamond stitching?
