I can fit my leather jacket in one (tight fit but it is a xxx) i would also be able to fit about 4 large vitamin water, my cell and cigs with more room. They are tough also, i went down hard on april 8 and they only got dirty and a little scratch on the vinyal lettering.

Sure. No problem. I had to get a 2x. I normally wear a xl. The armor makes it bigger. It was more comfortable.

Thanks Kristen for the post. Can't wait to get them.

Thanks Thumper. Sounds like a good alternative.

I have the small throw over Tourmaster bags for my '03 Savage & love them.  They can hold about 5 lbs. each.  Can't get much bigger for a bike of this size.  I bought them new on EBay for about $90 in 2006.  They have rain covers & quick release buckles.

dv8savagerider, The plastic that they are made out of isn't the best quality. I thought the hinge on the door was kinda weak but they haven't broken. Same with the lock, kinda cheesy but it works. I can't fit my leather jacket in it but I put my raingear and a small tool kit and a quart bottle of gas in one side. The other side usually has my thermos of coffee for work, some bungee's and plenty of room left for a hoodie and a pair of gloves. They aren't huge but they hold what I need on a daily basis. When I need to carry my leather jacket, I use the bungee's to attach it to the seat/sissy bar. They carry alot more than the OEM bags. Hope this helps.

After much thought and reading everyone's comments I decided to keep the bags. Everyones input made sense. I'm not going to find a bigger bag without relocating the taillights and these bags are durable for what they are. I mounted them on this afternoon but I have to take them off again to install the proper quick release equipment I purchased. Still they are what they are and they are functional. The sissy bar will be my next purchase. Anyone know how or where I can find to install the brackets? Thanks everyone!

Thanks kim.
