What bags to get?
I am pretty much 99% sure I am going to get easy brackets for my bike. I just got my mustang seat and throw over my bags now. Being a girl I usually put my purse in my saddlebags and other crap for when I go shopping. But I am wanting to get the easy brackets so I have the choice to have the bags on or not. My question is what are some good bags to get? I have tourmasters on mine now and they are a good size. I have seen some bags that are just too small.
So if you have easy brackets what bags are you using?

use you existing bags if they are the right size.
i bought a set of river road throw overs off ebay, they had the zip off yoke(where it goes over the fender). i zipped the yoke of and mounted a thin plexiglass backing on the inside of the bag for rigidity and for the easy brackets to mount. i used those black plastic things that door panels mount with to keep the back side of the bag against the plexiglass. i even cut the zipper off the bags so you dont even know they were throw overs at one time. i'd suggest going that route, it will save you some bucks. you can just cut the yoke off if yours dont zip off.

I could have my bf take a look at it...my bags dont have a hard back...but I will give it a shot because I like my bags and it would be cheaper.
