I have a set of the soft jobs as well as a tank bag (18 liter ?). I only used them on one moderately long trip ( ~3000 mi ) and they worked pretty well. I didnt notice any adverse handling effects except for the extra weight of the bike. They have a fairly nifty velcro + snap attach system which makes them easy to put on and off. On the down side, you shouldnt put any really heavy items in them (tools for instance) because it will distort the shape. And on my bike ( Seca 750 ) you had to be pretty careful in mounting to keep them from coming in contact with the mufflers. Also, despite the rain covers, an all day expressway rain storm did manage to soak through a littlei and because they come off as quickly for somebody else as they do for the owner. I beleive this flaws are shared by all soft bags. Hope this helps. > Grego Sanguinetti > >uucp: {ucbcad,decvax,pur-ee,cbosg,ihnss}!tektronix!teklds!grego >CSnet: grego@tek >ARPAnet:grego.tek@rand-relay Bob Weiler
