I've attached photos on our new Mustang bags. I reused the LeatherLyke mounting system that I had used with our old leather bags. Having read about the cracks in the LeatherLyke bags, I reinforced the mounting area with a metal plate and am planning to install some clips on the bag bottoms that will attach to the saddlebag guards. The construction of the Mustang bags is different, probably stronger, than the Leatherlyke, but I think that the reinforcement is a good idea.

Is that a Mustang seat too?  If so, how do you like it?

The shape looks alot like the Tsukayu hard bags.  I wonder if Tsukayu makes the shells for Mustang.  Mustang did a good job with them, anyhow.

Did you use the easy brackets to mount them? Was thinking about getting some for my solo bike.

David, he reused the mounting system from his old Leatherlyke bags.

Hey nice job on those bags, they look great cooldude They follow the original lines of the Tourer bag and really look like they BELONG on the bike. Some aftermarket bags look like junk and take away from the beauty of the Valk. Not a bad price for brand new bags either!
  Nice job on your Valk too, seat and bags and bib all look great together, nice look cooldude

Nice pipes too. What kind of pipes do you have? Are they stock? How loud?
