Have these and took the hard bags off to stretch them on. They are a pain but eventually will go.

Yep - just to slow 'em down, or at least hesitate.

Keep in mind, I'm a Murphy - as is Murphy's Law.

You know the rest of that story.

Have a good one,

I guess what I was trying to say with my first post is that having someone steal my saddlebag guard bags is the least of my worries in life. The replacement cost is minimal and, I don't keep anything in them of value. If someone needs them that badly, they can have them. I won't loose sleep.

If you have to worry about that, it's time to quite riding. Ymmv

Speaking of warm, just wait til you go to take a drink in the warmer weather. The heat off the exhaust makes it almost like coffee water.

Not a good place to carry bottled soda.
