The bags look big, but they fit great. The tank bag doesn't get in the way of steering or instrumentation, even expanded. The saddlebags have room to spare in regards to the exhaust. I still need to tighten the straps a bit, but they fit great. I wish I would have gone with these the first time around. The Fieldsheer bags were a waste of time, and I think I actually spent more money on them. I just wish I could mount them under the seat for security reasons. I may cut holes in the rear strap for the rubber stoppers to fit through, I haven't decided yet.

I don't think that you can compete with the Kenda's for value and longevity, as well as confident cornering. I'm on my second rear and first front tire, never lost traction even in wet (I don't ride aggressively). I'm running a K657 rear and a K671 front, one size up from stock for a softer ride.
