I found a practically new set of throw overs on craigslist for $40 and the guy still has em.....im not the type for bags but i figured it would be nice for the wife since she loves to bring a bunch of $hit when we ride.....so what do you guys think. The website says they are $120 new

 

i have had good luck with willie and max. i love the synthetic leather that they are made from. i have a tool bag that is 3 years old, and it looks exactly the same as the day i bought it. had a pair of throwovers that worked really well too. just didnt use them at the time and gave them to a buddy. i probably should have held on to them. i would go for it!

 

No problem I owned a set for 5 years just dont like the look

 

Personally, I dislike the throwovers due to the fact that they will rub the paint off the fender. Of course, I have never owned any throwovers.

 

I had a set on my Sportster. No complaints.

 

Ya that was the only thing i was afraid of was any type of rubbing on the paint....

 

i actually have a set that I put easy brackets on and they work quite well. I have the black with grey piping and it matches pretty well too. Look in my album for a photo.

 

I've had several W&M throw-overs and have never had a complaint. I'm currently thinking about getting some of their Revolution bags for a roadtrip to Seattle in April.

 

Love 'em! I have a set of the Delux series throw overs and a tool bag to match. They're both about 10 years old and still look pretty good. I don't think that you can beat the cost for the value. As for rubbing on the fender, you can go a long way to minimizing the effect by getting a big piece of moleskin (the anti-blister stuff) and putting it between the bags and the paint, soft side down of course.

 

Purchased a set last year soon after I bought the bike.

Not used them yet since I've not relocated my rear signals. I've heard alot of positive things about them.

Plan on using them April though for a HOG Chapter ride out to Big Bend.

For $40.00 I'd go for it.
