I have these same bags and would like to make a few pro and con comments about them.
Pros:
First off, these bags go on and come off in seconds. Really slick!
I also like that everything except the quick release bracket can be removed making the bike appear stock.
The hardware is excellent quality.
Can be used with a passenger.
These saddlebags match well with my Nelson-Rigg tail bag.
Cons:
The reflective piping isn't very bright.
The protective rubberized material on the exterior side that touches the bike isn't very durable and wears out easily due to rubbing/friction.
The bags will damage the plastic seat assembly due to rubbing. (I place some thin foam rubber in between the bags and the bike to prevent this damage.)
The outside zippered pockets hold very little.
The "waterproof" removable pouches are not designed to cover the outside of the bag but are made to keep your items inside your bags dry. A bad design IMO because the bags get wet and dirty and need cleaning and drying out if riding in inclement weather. It would be much easier to clean a slip on outer cover and keep your bags dry rather than using an interior pouch.
Last, but not least, this system is expensive!
