Ok, got the Hard bags off of ebay in today, my overall assessment is;
You get what you pay for, BUT, they are a GOOD deal I think.
1. I will have to move my rear turn signals to the back by the license plate.
2. I will have to slide the Large hard case on the tail back about an inch and a half.
3. I will have to make brackets to attach these to the chrome rail, or, remove the rails and attach some bolts from the other direction and put the nut on the bag side.
4. Wire up the bag lights into the park or brake light (not both), I will remove the plastic bulb protector and see if I can install a double filament bulb later. OR I could wire the bags to be the blinkers.
5. When the hinge breaks (in the future), will have to install a better hinge.
6. Add some kind of support for the mount holes on the abs itself. The lip is 1/8" thick at the top, but only seems thinner overall ( I don't have a mic so I cannot measure thickness), so I will probably add some washers glued to the abs to make the bolt hole areas a little stronger so it will not crack due to vibrations.
7. A thicker coat of clear would probably benefit the paint, I already scratched it a little on the top.
