I gotta tell ya, I started off really digging the seat but something about the bag just didn't seem right. As I read through the post reading others comments on what they thought, I kept going back to look at the pictures. By the 4-5th time I looked, its really growing on me. The thing is, its unique, which is the style of your bike. I think it just takes a minute to take it in because it hasn't been seen before..

All in all..I like it!

Its growing on me too! and every one that sees it in person, says the same thing. I might take it back and have him take out the stitching on the straps and make him do cross patterns over it. If that make sense.

I like it, I just think it's the bag's thick white roping that goes down instead of forward like the seat that takes your eye off the flow.
Changing the roping to black might change things on the bag.

You know, it's growing on Me too. Only suggestion I have is maybe redo the straps so the stitching follows (matches) the cover when closed.
