Well ,I have had my cheap bags from India on the bike for a spell, and figure I would do a review. These bags are surprisingly roomy, and hold their shape well. I stuffed mine tightly full of feed sacks for a couple days, and I think it helped. They have two straps on the back of each bag and the straps are sewn and rivited. They have a green cloth liner with a small zipper pocket in the inside. Of the two bags, one does seem to have better leather, and one has a little bit of a wrinkled texture on a place on the flap. I converted mine to throw over bags by lining the holes up in the rear most flaps, and lacing a strong black shoe string though the holes, and for the front end of the bags ,I doubled the other shoe string, and ran a length between the metal loops on the back of the bags. I let this string slip in between the two sections of my seat, and let the strap go across the little square seat pad. These bags just have flaps with several holes in their straps, and are in no way water proof, but they do come off easy . I ran through a slight shower one day, and the lower quality bag got a little flimsy, but dried out fine enough. I think they fit the Savage well, but I will probably end up mounting the big Saddleman bags that I bought used. Any way ,I think they are well worth the price,if you don't ride in the rain, which I don't intend to do ,but sometimes you can't help it.
