Default Shaved Saddlebags (Bad Dad)

Have you seen the new saddle bags Bad Dad will be producing? No latches and all the hardware is hidden. Pretty Impressive but it's going to hit you in the wallet hard.

like the idea, but would you be able to lock and unlock on the bike doesn't look like there would be enough room. Lid looks likes it obstructs the opening a little, you wouldn't be able to get a luggage liner in and out.

I could see how some would like them, and they are nice. But they almost seem "naked" without some sort of hardware on them.

I like lots of things but when the pricing becomes unreasonable my interest goes elsewhere.

I don't like it.
It looks like there is an angle iron running across the bags on the inside (front and rear).

If you want something like that you might as well do the http://www.gatorboxes.net/. Still going to eat up space on the inside but would be nice for a show bike.
