Hmmm... The bike had 1500 on it when I bought it, I rode it around 2,500 without bags, so roughly 56,000 miles with my Tsukayu bags.
These bags have been with me through 2 motor builds, 4 exhaust systems and 3 seats... Believe me if I didn't like them I would have replaced them long ago. That's how I roll. But still, it's kinda early to tell if I'm gonna like 'em or not. We'll see...

We'll talk again in three or four years, after they're broken in.

Love my strong bags! Had em for 2 years and had no problems with the bags. I originally had the ghost brackets and wanted them to sit lower on the bike, so I fabricated my own mounts with the help of my buddy's race shop. Cut a tunnel out for the exhaust and made a filler out oof fiberglass and sheet metal. Really good bags in my opinion!

Looks great, but I have to wonder if I would drag them on the asphalt all the time.

I wanted to be able to place the bags were I wanted them and align them the way I wanted them... so I got the Tsukayu universal mounts and non-drilled bags. It was relatively easy to mount them and get them sitting where I wanted them.

I have seen many bikes with these bags on where the bags are splayed out like a hooker's legs... sit too high... flap around when the bike goes over bumps... No thanks!

The bags are parallel to the fender, miss the turn indicators, sit as low as I could make them due to the cut-out in the back of the bags for swing-arm clearance, and are as close to the bike as they can get and still clear the seat when they open. Here's a couple of pics...










Of course, the bike doesn't look like that any more...

Haven't drug em on the asphalt yet(knock on wood)! Think I'm gonna move em back in a little bit this winter though, along with a wooden keg tour pack! Really like the way the bags sit on your ride, wish I'd went that route. Had a little time on my hands since I been laid off since January, and that's what happened!!! A minds a terrible thing!

I think they might drag... maybe not...

Heading down through Va and NC this weekend through some twistys, if it quits raining. That should tell the tale if they're gonna drag or not. Drug the floorboards last time! Got my finggers crossed. Hell man, looks like you're draggin the frame in that last pic!

Only the peg feeler is touching. The pegs fold up a bit before this happens:

[kentucky kingpin]

I'm sure my bags would drag before it got that low.

  Hey Half Crazy! Just got home from riding US421 from Kentucky to N.C. and back and found out the floor boards will drag before the bags do!!! Plenty of twisties on dat road for sure!!!

Hey HC, are your bags the regular size or the jumbo's?
