I really like how the hug my back side (LOL No pun intended).
They don't stick out at all. It's a change I'm happy with.

Put some on the 883 for my GF. Good quality, good price, looks good. The only thing I dont like about them is the little **** that stick through the side lid when you close it dont want to go through some times. And I REALLY dont like the signal relo, looks like a tacky after thought. Ill eventually get some flush mount leds to go on the back side of the bags.

Very nice Eve, extra storage carried low. Do you have saddle bag inserts or liners? If not, even a simple pillow case would make organizing and schlepping easier.

I agree about the relocate of the turn signals and I'm probably going to figure something out later but for now, they don't look too bad.

I went with the EasyBrackets relocation kit.

Wow. Great job. I like the low-profile-ness of the bags. Nice and neat and tucked in.

That's either the biggest sporty I've ever seen, or she's the tiniest rider I've seen on one. That's a cool pic. Lights on the bags would sure look better than any of the relocation kits I've seen, as long as she plans to leave them on all the time.

Yes Viking bags are a good product at a good price. Mic and I hoth opted for their detach hardware although I seldom will take them off . We swapped bags to give him the bigget set me the smaller. We hsve both gotten compliments already. Highly recommend Viking Bags!
