I have one of there magnetic tank bags the GT-20, and it is great, very good product...Just wondering if the saddle bags would work on our bike?

These are the ones that I have been watching for my Superhawk. I have the high mount Jardines and I think these will clear the pipes without melting down. With a tail pack on top I could be gone for three days easy.

With the right set up, saddle bags will fit with high mounts! This isn't the best set up but it gets the job done... I don't remember what model, but this is an Eclipse set that has a tail bag integrated into the saddle bags. It comes with a rain cover that works well.

The Nelson-Riggs stuff posted look great! They make good luggage, and look like it would be an excelent fit. Since you have low mounts, the Motopak stuff would offer a bit more room. It looks like quality luggage as well, but I've never seen it in person.

This pic is from the Cherohaula Skyway on a 600 mile 2 day trip into North Carolina. There was no melting of the nylon, or any other burning from the pipes. The only problem I had was throwing a rock off the back tire and breaking one of the clips that secures the bags to the bike.

Excellent (not in the rain)

I don't have those in particular but my set was made by cortech. I got them out of JCWhitney. They are shaped for sport bikes to clear the upswept exhaust cans and they have heat shileds on the bottoms. I bought the rear seat bag as well to complete the set. Worked great on a 5k mile trip last summer. They suck in the rain!!! My saddle bags filled with rain even with the rain covers on them.
This is the tailbag
