Default Pack Animal Bags

http://packanimal.co

What do you guys think of these bags? They make one in all black that looks sweet, but my biggest concern outside of cost is I'm worried that having one bag on one side loaded with whatever will cause the bike to handle poorly. Should this be a concern? I think they might have a good product here although it does lean bit too "hipster" for me.

Thanks!

Equal weight distribution is a must, whatever your carrying in there. If you're using it to pick up an 18 pack of bud light on the way home from work, you're probably better of just getting two 18 packs. I don't think they're too hipster either, there's definitely a place for huge *** saddle bags.

Good looking bags, I like the concept and they'd look sporty on my Iron.

Indeed. I'm just worried about the weight distribution if I only got one bag.

Does seem a bit hipstery or metro-sexual lol. If you like them, get them. 1-18 pack of beer on one side won't do you in. I'd rather not have that much weight in all the time, but short commute, who cares..

I wouldn't worry about weight distribution too much...unless your putting bricks of gold or lead in there, the weight is not going to affect daily riding.

They look rad. Do they have a backing frame you have to mount to the bike? I'd love to have a bigger throw-over set, but a backing bracket would ruin it. Looks like they'd even fit over my current bags, which would be awesome for trips.

You're on a heavy cruiser bike. If you put these on a little sport bike and loaded up only one bag, yeah you might have a problem. You're not going to make a huge difference unless you load up one side with lead batteries or something.

I ride with all kinds of things strapped to my bike in all sorts of weird positions. Whatever fits!
