I've always been partial to Wille & Max. I've never been disappointed with anything I've ordered from them. It depends on whether they make a product that'll fit your needs. Once you've figured out what you think you'll need the bags to do, then you might get a better idea from the forum of who makes a quality product in the style of bag you're looking for.

Don't get the the Suzuki bags. They fit the bike good but they don't hold much.

I just got the Suzuki bags... They look nice on the bike, but Al is right... They're pretty small and they have a very weird way of opening.

I'm going to keep my eyes open for something bigger for longer trips that would require extra sets of clothes. The Suzuki bags would have a hard time fitting stuff like that.

They did hold my Nikon D80 camera pretty well though. Smiley

Simon, I have failed you and I am sorry.  I did my best to talk you out of those OEM bags, but I did not succeed.  Forgive me for not trying hard enough. Grin  Just kidding, I'm glad you like them.  They are VERY nice looking bags, they are just so limited in storage that they frustrate the heck out of me.

Do we need to be talking about that OEM engine guard too?  Undecided

Haha... I'm hoping to find someone with a Wingerline bar... It's just that everyone seems to be out of stock.

I was thinking of going OEM for the price... But I don't NEED it for this year, so I'll probably just hold off until the Wingerline does come in stock.

And it's alright... I got the bags for a decent price and they do fit the stuff I usually carry. It can fit my GF's purse, which is amazing in itself! :-P I'll upgrade at some point, but for now I'm ok.
