Nothing stealth about that machine of yours.  :thumbs:
But they sure do look good going down the highway/freeway/parkway/ROAD!  :P

So along with being hideous they don't even protect the only part of the bag to get scraped in a minor mishap?   ::)

I hate trying to keep black clean, too much washing for me. Nothing stealth about that machine of yours.  :thumbs:

What is this clean of which ye speak?  ???

Snake skin installed just before the sun went down...   :chugbeer:
 
I'm undecided though... I might just rock the top middle piece because that seems to always be the target area for mama...  :-\

Well, doesn't look too bad with black on black on black on black.  Any other bike color I don't think it would work, though.

I like the looks of the whole set-up. I think you should leave them all.

So instead of have a small scuff you can wipe off with a rag, now you have a scuffed hunk of foam rubber that probably won't clean up.  Yup, that makes sense.  :o

Scratches don't wipe off with a rag and the TechSpec pads aren't foam rubber.

My legs work just fine CB, but if you read my prior comment my bags are at risk when mama is getting on the back or when I let one of my buddies (who aren't used to side bags) ride my Connie...  :(
 
Cheap insurance vs chance of a scratch.  :thumbs:
 
 
As for the old men comment, yes indeed we are...  :)
 
But I'm kinda shocked that you're posting on here this morning, I thought you'd still be sleeping since you had a late night at the Justin Bieber concert...  :o ;) ;D
