Default Mini Bagger

My wife has a 061200L black in color.&nbsp\\; She is in need of a saddle bags.&nbsp\\; Currently has a set of cheap leather bags, that’s about worn out.&nbsp\\; We have together looked at HD bags.&nbsp\\; Both the Hard Molded color bags as well as the rigid leather bags.&nbsp\\; Not sure what to get her, she likes both.&nbsp\\; Does any body have either???&nbsp\\; What are your suggestions???&nbsp\\; Does any body have pictures???.

The hard bags look real nice but after seeing them in person I thought they stuck out too far from the bike.

I like the color matched hard bags. Bags are not my thing, but I think they look awesome!

Which has more room? Is the price difference a factor at all? Which mechanism is better to operate? Do they need to be water PROOF or simply water resistant? Both are fairly weather resistant but I would think the color coded bags more so. I have never actually seen the HD color coded bags on a sporty, so I can't talk a whole lot about it.
