I deleted the busted up stock rear turn signals, replaced them with ones mounted on the back of the plate. Rehung the bags so the strapping is all under the seat or otherwise less visible. Tail bag for now is a Bell bicycle tool roll that is already fading.
When I get the taillight moved and the sissybar widened to mount up the studded out VN800A seat, I'll be switching to the studded, hard back, hard mounted bag set I used to run on the 98.
The bags are alright, not sure how you crammed a gallon of milk into one, a pair of my dress shoes maxes one side out, my raingear (too small, 2x, won't fit over my leathers) or a leather night riding jacket the other. I do like the fact the they are coolers instead of shapeless nylon.
I also turned them around so the pockets are at the back.
I would like to over sew reflective material in the center band on both of them. Memphis "drivers" honestly can't...
