Those look like nice saddlebags. What brand are they? And how well do they mount to the rear faring? (Shes a curvy thing back there, couldn't find a good pair)

yeah the saddle bags was another selling point for me, but i removed them cause i work in Down town Los Angeles. Their definitely getting stolen if there left on.. i plan on usung them on long trips like Vegas and trips to San the name brand of the saddle bags are Nelson Rigg, they tie down well on to the bike and felt really stable on the bike as i was riding home from purchasing the bike.
