About Bagman Saddlebags... I would highly recommend the HARD version of the bags. They are about $20 more than the soft versions and I think well worth it. They are not hard hard they are soft hard. They look like the soft versions but they have a hard nylon(I think) form. They are like a suitcase opening via (2) zippers that go around the case. They have a sling mount (over the seat) and fasten with buckles on the bottom. They come with rain covers and the instructions stress that you MUST use them. The bags look very nice - they are black with red pin striping. I'm glad I spent the extra $20 for these bags. You pack them like you pack a suitcase and they wont lose their shape like soft bags.
