I had one for a minute. it looked real cheap once I got it. the one pocket snapped off which is fine but, the snaps looked totally different on the back of the pouch than the rivets did that they used to secure the other 2 pouches, and it showed. it felt more like plastic than pleather.

if that kinda stuff don't bother you, than I guess it would be fine

That one pouch is designed to be removable for use with a GPS or other device hanging off the bars. Even states it in the description.

I have one and I like it. I also have a tinted wind screen so you can't really see that the rivots/snaps don't match. I put my keys, phone, and wallet in for every ride. The price is right. Would I get a better quality if I had a painted inner fairing, probably, but mine is not painted. Looks and funtionality are good.

Got one and like it, but it's been kind of sagging so I drilled out the rivets and got a 1/8X1" aluminum strap - cut it down and put it between the bags and the backing and pop riveted it back in place and glued felt furniture dots on the rivet heads to keep it from scratching. Did 250 mi. this week end and it never budged. Keep the garage door opener in the left one glasses in center and my sat. radio in the right one.

Kind of glad I read this one....I was considering a new bag. Maybe not this one for me.

I have 1. Bought it as I have my GPS mounted on the fairing. They do include 2 snap covers which dress up the snaps if you need the left pouch removed. Works good. Would buy it again.
