Looks great, I think I would also like the top-loading on your side bags.

Yes these fit on the stock Uly racks quite nicely. 30 liter cases. Size is smaller than Gobi's and lighter. Bad thing is since all bags other than on a Uly latch in the rear bags are swapped. Top opens from front to rear and lid won't remain open on it's own. Just posting pics of my new cases

Yes they were spendy. I didn't like the Journey type case because of the clam shell style and wasn't truly waterproof. I found myself using my soft bags mostly but they still aren't waterproof. Winter riding on westside of washington you need waterproof. Also when I go on riding trips I camp and the journey's made a horrible seat.

Like take a load off seat around the campfire?
So they're pretty tough? hows the actual capacity
Compared to the stockers? Gotta ask cause for me without taking the clamshells off their a pita to load.
Full face wont fit right? Nice looking

Barocky,
You a smoke jumper? That's a Native American name you got. It's right you are on a Buell.

Barocky, did you have to relocate the turn signals from their standard position? That third picture is a little small for me to pick it for sure!

Chorizo-Cases seem pretty sturdy and I can sit on them. The 30L seems big because of the top loading and no I can't get a helmet in there but I still have the tail case.
Electa97-yes I am a smokejumper based in Missoula Mt. and the name is Lenape(Deleware) that's pretty good most people think it's Polish or something
Xrated-yes the turn signals barely touch the cases. They will work for now I will probably just shorten the stem at some point

Those look really nice! I bet you could rig some sort of little strut or hood-prop type thing to keep them open on their own when on the bike if you wanted to.

Bike Pilot-that sounds like a good idea. Lids don't weigh much maybe just velcro on lid and piece on tail case, voila! I was just in VA last month fighting fire in the "Great Dismal Swamp" good times.
