The new Brukus kit is a joke! Don't bother.

I would like one touch bags but the idea of needing a key to open them every time and drilling holes in my new extended bags and lids is enough to keep me from doing it.

Yeah, I'll have to pass..

I looked at the video and for those with a tour pak, I just don't see any advantage.....

They would have been better off making a kit for those that want to mount 2014+ bags on an older bike...

I can see why the new style is cool and called an improvement.... but I never really had enough of a bad time with the old style that I would spend $200 for something that is just different, not really better...

Just my 2 cents...

I see what you mean about it being a joke, doesn't even look the same as the newer bags and $200 on top of that, you would of thought they would have done something different. Thanks everyone for their input

no kit necessary. the 2014 bags will fit on earlier model bikes with an adjustment to the front mount.

from what i understand, you may (some have not had to) have to elongate the hole on the mount.

Pass, hate to say but that is a horrible design..... Back to R&D and start over.... especially if all you need to re drill some holes and problem solved...

Default 2014 bags.

I buy set of new 2014 conversion 4.5 extended bag in primer from Westernmoto on fleabay . $700 with hardware. Bags are good need some finishing before paint. Hardware is good only locks are so so but work.
