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

Very Nice. Did those fit on the factory Journey racks. |

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. |
