Question #2" VLX's and saddlebags

[Menhir]

Now that I'm narrowing down my choice of new saddlebags, I have a questions for VLX owners or anyone else in the know...

My current saddlebags are roughly 10-1/2" wide, 11" high, and about 3" deep, as seen in the pic below.

There are two sizes of W&M saddlebags in the style I want for more touring capacity:

One is the "compact" size of:
12" Wide, 9.5" High, and 5.5" Deep
I know these will fit, but they are only marginally bigger that what I have now.

I'd like to order the bigger size, which is:
16" Wide, 11" High, and 6.5" Deep

It's the same height as my current ones, so that's gonna be OK, and it has a lot more depth which is fine, so I'm just concerned about the width/length.

Is this large size going to look too big for the VLX, like I have a couple of cows strapped to the bike, or am I going to be fine? Normally I'm not very fashion-conscious, but...

It's my bike.

You understand.

Once again...Thanks.

Not sure why it posted the pic twice, but you can get these from Jafrum.com for about $75

I haven't come across a situation where I saw a bike and thought to myself, "Wow, those bags are far too large for that machine." I find more storage space attractive on a vehicle .

I have pretty large River Road bags on my VLX. I want the storage so I don't worry about them looking to large or if anyone else thinks they are too big.

I need a new picture of the bike. The bags you see in it are not the River Road I run now.
