Well, if you like bags, they're purdy ones,.... I would prefer top loading, so the stuff don't fall out when you open them, and if you go down, they look very scratchable....

I think someone on the site already has a set.

I have a set of white ones. I like em. They aren't really high quality fiberglass so if you go down, they are junk. I didn't like the led turn signals so I added an aftermarket set. Here's a couple pics.

Hey Al!

How much weight do you think they can carry? Perhaps a six pack each side? Maybe a quick run to the grocery store or a light picnic to the beach? I have water proof soft bags right now that can each hold a motorcycle jacket, however they dont look as good. Thanks for the feedback Al. Looks wise, do you think they are worth the 238$ CAD I am about to shell out??

I like mine alot and i think I got my money's worth. As far as how much i can carry, on one side I have my rain gear, a pair of gloves, a small tool kit, and about a quart of gas. The other side I leave open for my thermos of coffee for work and any other last minute things. I also keep 4 or 5 bungies for additional cargo. Like i said, not the highest quality but they've made it through one year without any problems.

I also have them. Got them for Christmas. I carry my rainsuit (on those maybe days...you know maybe it's gonna rain) and gloves. I even stuffed my chaps on one side. Best thing is they LOCK. I really like mine.

I have a set on my old Maxim and the bags seem to be decent, they do the job.

I considered those but was concerned I would get them and they would be too small. I found some old ones on Craig's List for around $50, it was a bit of work painting them and getting them on, but now it's a real grocery getter!

Pretty sure they're plastic, not a reinforced composite like fiberglass. Flcruzer has a set that look really nice with his silver S40.

I rode behind someone with a set of these bags on their Honda. I could not see the signal lights at all in bright daylight. Might want to consider some better lights if you buy them, for safety's sake.

I have them, and that is definately a problem. AlfromN.H has then too and he installed flush-mounted signals. I am getting a pair very soon.

Here is a pic of the Mutazu bags on my bike. They are pretty good for the price.
