The bags are good, solid but the straps that are provided for securing are not the greatest. Overall would recommend but consider alternate straps. Using a MC bracket with these bags works fine.

(2 stars) reviewed on 01/02/09 by Mike (ponytailmike) from , , for a 0 1300 VTX1300R (S) Retro wrote: Bought bags in 2005 when I purchased my VTX1300R. They were a little too small for the bike and fit a little too far away for my taste, but I kept them. Over 21/2 yrs the smart fastners (the quick release system) have broken and been replaced, and now the grommets holding them onto the bags have broken out. The bags are nice to look at but did'nt hold up for me. Have new Viking bags on order. 5/12/2010 update !!!!!! GET THE VIKING BAGS!!!!!! Review Details  1 out of 1 members found this review helpful.

Plenty of space, the problem is you only get 2 years out of these bags. The bach side cannot stand up to the ware and tare. the leather is unbeatable but the plastic or what ever the crap tney use cannot stand up to the road. so I will not recomend these bags for they are not worth it. The warrenty is expiered before you have any problems. Review Details  6 out of 6 members found this review helpful. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
