I really wanted these to work. I bought a new smaller bike, and needed a way to carry more. Given the design where they angle up in the back, I was optimistic. However, when you cinch the bag mounts up so that they can't go any tighter or they'll be under your butt and not comfortable, the right bag still rests on the upswept exhaust. I gave a three star rating because they looked like what I need and appear to be well made, but I can't give them 5 stars when they don't fit my new bike.
