Got these from my local dealer shortly after buying the bike because i needed some cargo space. They're pretty low end bags, but they're not bad given the price. I like the quick-release latches and the Velcro ends. It's probably too early to say how they'll hold up. They haven't seen any wet weather. They're a snap to remove when i'm trying to get at the rear tire valve. I wish they were larger. My dealer didn't think much would fit on the Aero with the double-stacked exhaust pipes, but there are a few inches of clearance with these that would allow for some slightly larger bags. Overall, they're good budget bags to start off with.

Already installed on my bike. Love them. Only wish they had quick disconnect snaps instead of buckles. I have ridged mounts to my 07 Vulcan Custom 900.

Perfect fit between rear turn signals and riders leg. Not very much storage capacity but just right for my needs. I used Ghost Brackets (better than Easy Brackets) to mount these bags so I can easily remove them as needed and for a better fit rather than just hanging over the fender.

Looks good on the bike. They are a little small, but I think they are just right for the bike. I'm going to use adel clamps on the factory bag supports to keep them straight. I ride to work nearly every day on my bike and need just enough room for lunch and to put rain gear,chaps,etc. think i'll like them. Will update soon. So far,so good . Put clamps on supports with stainless bolts,lock nuts and wing nuts. The bolts are long enough to put a piece of .250 in. rubber tubing as a spacer to level out the bags side to side. Bags look factory built and with a little planning are big enough for most things.

Good size bags, The only issue I havehad with them is that the plastic back cracks around the mount holes, which allows the water in when it rains. So I built metal backs for them and sealed them. Much stronger now. Other then that they are a good bag.

I currently own a set of these throw over bags and am very pleased with how much I can stuff in them. Looking for a new set that I can use the bracket system with. After a year of year-round riding I realized that the bracket system is neccessary (backing material gets brittle and breaks.)

I got a used set of the Saddlemen Drifters from my bro-in-law as a Christmas gift. They are not bad, I am actually not sure of the size. The ones I have will hold 2 two liters per bag without a problem. Love the securing method of these bags. I was able to tweak them into just the right position front/back and height, not to keen on the teeny opening that the top flap allows you.
