Personally, I would rather the plate stayed where it is as long as it is visible under the bags. Wouldn't want a ticket...
I REALLY liked the shape of the bags, and they appear to blend as well as can be expected. If the mounts are hidden, or not too obtrusive, or removeable, I'd get a set in a heartbeat. :2thumbs:

I've been working on some prototypes for some time now, for me. Not anywhere near finished. I've been requested by a few people to custom produce in small quantities.
Still thinking about it. If so: Planning on "plain" versions(No Design), Custom Designs ? , Carbon Fiber covered: Natural"Charcoal") and ColoredColor match determined by customer) Raw:F-glass (You cover), Gel cote: Paint grade (You Paint to match) Frame Rail: Chrome w or w/o small spikes. Tag Mount:"Recessed" (Re-use existing) Rear Lights: "Half-Recessed" (Re-use existing") Lockable, Weather Tight
Let's see if I can upload these pics. ( Pictured are just the "Plugs" used to make the actual molds later on) Let me know what you think :up: or :down: I'm very curious as to others thoughts. Sorry, Don't mean to steel the thread, but stupid (me) can't figure out how to move it! Sorry LDO, I must be to stupid to figure out how to post them resized larger!

That a good idea. I thought about that also. But the only problem I see is what will the bike look like when the bags off?

LDO,
You Da Man! I don't care what they say about those "HAIRY LEGS" SASCUATCH! Thanks Again!
Raywood,
I'm like you, I thought that what bikes were made for. "RIDING"! not jut to "Looking At, Cleaning and doing a little PROFILING around on"! I believe in "RIDE'EM TILL THEY DROP" just like you!.....And Oh Yea,..... And for me that goes for more than just bikes if you know what I mean.

If I need storage I just put the ol' lady on the back and have her wear a backpack.
I think they go GREAT with the WINDSHIELD! :roll: :roll: :roll:
Seriously, I think they look fine for carrying stuff on a trip, except I'm not too keen on the license plate location. I presume they had to move it to make the plate visible enough - unfortunately, it sorta ruins the trademark part of the bike - that clean, big-ass rear tire.
The bags are probably easy enough to remove - but I bet the license frame stays where it is, and that would look even more goofy with the bags off - we'll see.
Still, it looks like some pretty usable volume in those bags. Problem is they'd ALWAYS be full of Mrs. P8RIOT's stuff - it just naturally expands to fill any space available.
I just called Ryan to see what they cost. He said they have a wholesale estimate, but not a suggested retail, so he wouldn't give me a number. He also said they have 3 or 4 on order already, so someone's buying 'em.

Please -- the woman is stick thin and wears bikinis all the time (we've all seen the calendars)...confess, you need bags that big for your electronic toys, 27 tee shirts and your "Ensure" and "Geritol."
