I like the look, I just wouldn't want them on all of the time. I figure that I do 5-6 road trips a year needing bags and normally, I have a lady with me so bag space becomes even more important. I also ride the bike around town every chance that I get and only need my tank bag and/or glove box for that. The hassle involved with taking them on/off is not worth the $1400.00 that Corbin wants for them now. I have seen them used on eBay sell for anywhere from $400-$700.00. If I was going to be touring on the bike by myself, they would be just fine from a capacity standpoint but, still that on/off hassle was what pushed me over the edge. Take a look at Pashnit's set up. That guy is a professional tourer if there is such a thing.
