Very Nice.......I have same set -up on mine and I think they work and look great and I like the quick locking removal feature.On my bike I uesd factory leather bags and also I did not need to relocate my turn signals .I think as "mrmagloo" suggests try painting the turn signal spot and the bracket to help blend in better. I have the chrome rail supports and the brackets blend in vey nice.

The tech did a good job finding a piece of chrome to fill the opening left when the turn signals were moved (better than leaving an opening) but I do plan to fill in with something color matched. Probably will dremel a piece of plastic model material and then paint it and attach over the opening. Winter project. Gotta ride while the weather is nice.

After a few misfires with the DMV, we finally got what we wanted for Kandy's vanity plate. Added  the ! with electricians tape. Figure we'll get stopped, questioned and reprimanded at some point.

Finally got the painted saddlebags back. Well worth the wait! Can't wait to see them on the bike in the sun!

Last one. Lenni said he had to paint and repaint them as the first time he got the process wrong. He said the midnight black actually has metal flake in it and the cobalt blue is sprayed over the midnight black. When the blue hits the metal flake, it makes it jump and turns it purplish. Said it was a royal pain in the a** but he was very proud of the results - as well he should be. They look outstanding. Kandy is thrilled!

Couldn't wait all winter to see what these look like. Wouldn't you know it, the Deuce was the first one in the garage so I spent 45 minutes jockeying stuff around to get the bags on and get some photos. Extremely pleased with the way they turned out!

Have some work to do with the spacers so the bags are far enough away from the rear signals and so they hang vertically but that's just tweaking.

Can't believe how much better they look than just plain black. Now look like integral part of the bike. Still not crazy about the jelly bean look but life requires compromise sometimes.

On or off in under 2 minutes. Now I have to find a good way to store them.
