Got my Windshield bag today. It's about the easiest thing you will ever install in your life.
I like the looks except they put a damn big logo on it. I could do without that.
Other than that it serves the purpose well. I just wanted something to put my cell phone in and maybe some change that looked like it belonged on the bike. It would be easy to get something small like a single key crammed down in the corner of one the end pouches but that is the price you pay for something that follows the dash. No biggie, just something to be aware of.
If you have the stock SG windshield it would be great. I have an 8" on mine so I will have to get used to how it looks from the front. Guess if it bothers me (I doubt) I can always order a black vs smoke windshield.
All in all, I like it a lot better than the HD versions.
I think it looks great, looks like you could almost fit a small Glock or Taurus 24/7 in one of the side pouches!
I'll be interested to learn if it rubs the windshield the way the Harley pouches do. I've had both the single and double pouch units on my '07 SG, and both rubbed/scuffed the windshield within minutes of the bike running (that vibration at idle kills...).
Have you ridden with them and pulled them away from the shield to see if there are rub marks yet?
Funny you mentioned a small gun - my thoughts exactly, maybe a J-frame or LCP.
As for rubbing the shield I don't know yet but it's a fast aire windshield and they are so reasonable I would just replace it.
For the people saying they are backordered - I got mine direct from T-bags at http://www.tbags.com/detail.aspx?ID=92&SelectedCat=9 Took about 4 days to get it.
The shipping charge is steep @ $15 but decided it was worth the price to have something new and different. Not disappointed.
I really like the way these bags look, I just wonder how badly they would rub the paint on a painted inner fairing. Regarding the rubbing on the windshield, I lined the lower part of the inside of my shield with the clear stuff they use for rock chip protection on cars. There is a place down the street from me that installs it and he gave me a piece for nothing. Worked like a charm, it's pretty much invisible and no more scratches.
