LOOKS good... I had no issue there.

The bags themselves are great, nice quality, roomy enough...

I didn't like what they did to the air flow on mine.

I've got them and I'm pretty pleased. Being 6'4" I've not experienced the deflection of vent air into my face that some have complained about. May be an issue for shorter riders though.

Somebody mentioned that they rub on the painted inner fairing, Is this true? I've got mine but haven't installed it yet.

Thanks

I have installed one on my Limited. Have yet to ride with it due to the winter. I like the appearence and quality. Installation can be challenging to ones patience but I'm satisfied so far.

I was at the dealership yesterday and someone mentioned there is a new WS bag to address the issue of airflow on the 2014 dash.
Have to look for sure, the next time I'm there.

Just put some velcro tape on the painted part where it touches and it will be fine.

They had one installed on a Limited when I bought mine, just didn't like it as it just sits too high for my taste. I guess they had to make some concessions with the design because of the vent. Honestly, if they made a 2 pocket pouch with them just on the sides and the center open for the vent I'd probably go for it.

as to height they do ride up about as hi as the stock 4" shield and so it might hurt the viewing for a shorter guy,,,,,,

The bags come with spacers and some padding to address the rubbing from what I see,,, unsure if that's the fix??

They could hurt the airflow so I will have to try them out to see.........

They are pretty cool looking but will have to see function,,,,,

Put mine on today, works fine, a bit of a pia to do first instal, the foam rubber needs to be seated in a bit so it will be easier to remove and replace the next time.
