Remember this is leather over fiberglass composite. The skin is very beautiful but needs care. They're a little less roomy than they look because the hard part is leather. The upper has a hard part, but it is only about 80% of the upper. The rest of the upper is leather and not stiff, so be careful. Bags are not permanently fixed. They're easy to remove, so remember you don't want to leave them on the bike where they can be quickly removed and stolen. All in all a very good investment but needs some attention.
