See my signature pic. Mine are Saddleman Express Cruis'n Pouch Large saddlebags. They are retail $169.95 but got them 20% off for $135.95. Using with OEM Honda saddlebag supports. Used 4 clamps I found to fit around the supports and screw mounted to the bags along with the throw over strap. They were about as big as I could go without having to move the turn signals. Dimensions: 15.5" L x 9.5" D x 5" W Bigger than my original set of bags but not huge. Just added a barrel bag to a sissy bar rack and gained a lot of extra storage. Chaps, gloves, jacket liner, and couple pair of glasses easily fit in the barrel bag. Love it.

Gordo, I love those! Nice job.

I relocated my turn signals with a standard bracket attached to the pignose.
Bags are saddlemen jumbo slant drifters mounted with EZ brackets so I can pull them off easy. I also have a Honda roll bag on the back that came with the bike.

Not sure I would go with the saddlemen again... not bad for the price mind you but they aren't holding their shape very well. I really like some of the hard bags I have seen in this thread.

I got mine from leatherup.com, they are willie & max "warrior" studded with conchos.
The cost was $140. I think they are 14 x 9.5 x 5, they are zip off, as are the compact slant on my other bike. I am really pleased with willie & max bags. Measure and see what size you need and then go to leatherup and see all the choices. Post a pic of your new dressed bike.

Willie and Max, $25 used. Inserted a Rubbermaid container in each side to stiffen 'em up. Each side holds 2 12-packs.
