Good job !  I think they should match the curve of the rear fender and be larger than shown.

Close to the mufflers, too.  Real close. 

And, where the front of the rear fender is bulged out, they need to match the contour ... even tho this makes the interior a bit smaller.  But, that said ... they could be wider laterally, too.

I think hard bags are what this bike needs.  More like #4, but with no chrome hatch deal, and BIGGER !

Here's an idea... following the shape & lines of the pods?

That looks great. I think a rear fender extension color matched is also in order. cooldude

Great idea, but I think the Victory bags look better because it goes with the contour of the fender....JMO Smiley

I like the idea but it was rough choking on the Studded leather ones price let alone hard bags .
What do you think
$2000

I'd say around $2,000 is about, maybe in the high $1,000's.
Of course the Honda bags are way overpriced. I'm hoping a 3rd party does the hard bags.
