I think they're great. 5 beers and a pair of gloves without the look of saddlebags.. that's a win.

Yea to be honest I want a bag with a bottle holder because gas stations get pretty spaced out on this island. I found two different companies that make a decent one but it's 04+ all the pre 04 ones are butt ugly.

None of the four bolt points are actually on the swing arm, they don't shake any more than a saddlebag.

So it's not really hanging on the swingarm? Interesting.

Still shakes the beer up pretty good.. but I'd rather have a heady beer than no beer

I have a la rosa (kinda a piece of crap) the straps are mounted not really in the exact spots they should be, and the buckles are mounted to close together. Basically I had to make new holes and line it up better myself

Technically is was a "universal fit" from my experience. I'm sure you can get it to work. The mounting straps were superr long which helped. I had to even make new holes so I could get it tight (still flops around)
