Sure. 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.
