Default Lid Haulers

Anybody use Lid Haulers http://www.ridetek.com/ Can the bags be used with a passenger or do they totally interfere with thier legs? Still haven't changed my sig picture. these would be for a EG Classic.

I don't wish to hijack this thread, but I am also interested in these, only I have saddlebag LED spoilers and wonder if they can still be used?

I bought a set along with the stuff sack that they sell for my sleeping bags. I also have the kuryakyn passenger arm rests that take up some space over the top of the lids but thestuff sacksare still secure. They seem to work fine so far and because the stuff sacks sit out a little farther from the passenger it doesn't take up so much space. Getting on and off the bike is done the same. Bottom line is I like them and they suit my needs perfectly!

Could you please clarify this? I know you have passenger rails. Without the rails, Would the passenger be crowded? Would they interfere with the passengers legs? Interfere with their comfort?

Thanks.

I have been mulling over this setup and finally just pulled the trigger. I found tthe best deal on eBay from M&M Cycles The saddlebag covers (2) and roll bags (2) for $139.95 plus S/H. Such a deal.

Ran them on my old RK & loved 'em. Put them on the Ultra but little space between the lids and the tourpak, so not much use.

Got them back onto the SG & they're great!

And they stop the scratching from strapping bags across the rear seat..

I used them on several trips. The wife loved them because she could rest her arms on them. Didn't crowd her at all.

I am scared to load my 'bags' alone...being supported by that little
'spring' on the inside let alone load another 10lbs on top.
It does look like a nice product, but I don't trust the fastening springs
to hold too much....
