[QUOTE="Cervantes, post: 173144, member: 611"] I decided before I get the bags, I need to check with a local upholstery guy that I know... Need to see what he would charge to fix the seat and maybe make some "lids" or just upholster some that i make as you described. Probably will cost more than I can afford, but with checking. My big concern with getting new hard bags is what a few of you mentioned. I worry that they will look good in the picture but be really cheap looking or perhaps just look wrong on the bike... Too large, too small, working shape for the bike. To buy me some time and get me riding before I solve this problem, I think I will get some cheap turn signal lights and just ride with no bags for now. I will keep you all posted if the anyone is curious. On a side note, I may still get this black bags for my v star 250. They are very hard to bag because the turn signals are in the way... But it's the bars came with blinkers, that would solved the problem. I wonder if those vstar signal lights would work on my Goldwing. I will check that. Otherwise I saw some cheap ones on eBay. Not stock but I think they would work. As far as seats go, I may just get a Saddkemen King and Queen because they are cost effective and I believe reasonably comfortable... Unless the local upholstery guy comes in with a good price. I need to be able to seat 2 in comfort. Not crazy about the looks, but the other options I am seeing are about 2x more expensive. I am guessing the upholstery guy so be even more, but it is free to ask him about it. Always an adventure! Cervantes [/QUOTE]
