Well finally got the damn bags on, had to relocate the turn signals so the bags were far enough back that the old lady could saddle up.

WOW! Those are huge! Many long trips with those. Maybe you can carry gas in one of them!

Do NOT load them down too much. The excess weight/pressure on the tail section may overstress the two small tabs on the underside of your tail fairing. I know this from experience. Fortunately I was able to get it replaced under warranty since it looked like a vibrational issue (it took a little convincing ).
