Those were pretty impressive photos, but I had thought of standing in the bags, kinda like the pic on our website of my son standing on the bags. But without a reinforced lid, you can't really stand "on" the bags while they are on the bike, but we should be able to open the zippers enough to get get my feet in to stand "in" them. I will also try it on the stock bags, but I think it will bend that wimpy frame that is on the bottom.

Conelys bags do sag quite a bit when there fully expanded and loaded. I think because he used the same frame as the oems, also he says in his video that they expand to 13.5 inches. I believe the oems are only 11 or 12? For me 13.5 is a bit much. Garry how wide are yours gonna be? Also with your mold having a floor it seems that would help with support when fully expanded and loaded.
