Thank you! I think they turned out nice. But as Barbagris stated, they are not even close to waterproof. Actually, I don't know if their design could even be made waterproof. I carried hiking "dry bags" with me in case the skies darkened. But between the bags and a backpack I was able to carry enough gear for a week long ride through the Ozarks.
The ride didn't LAST a week, but I had enough gear!
I have done lots of travelling with HB's and cannot recommend them highly enough although I sometimes look at the beetle bags and think ..... they just look good. The HB's sit higher and sometimes when I look at the Rocket from behind I imagine it to be an Adventure bike .... which it is in a way. I still use bag liners (courtesy @Ishrub). Water and dustproof and solid.
There are at least two guys I know here in Spain who tried - without success. You need waterproof liners. And for those who need their PC whilst travelling - you will have fun trying to get anything decent through the doors. Yup - they look nice. And one day the ones I have MAY go back on. But whilst I need travel capacity - nope.
i have the Hard Street bags on mine and although they arent massive in terms of storage quantity they are waterproof and i think finish the bike quite nicely

Dad is going too grey too quickly as I have 2 boys and both like it.
However I like it that much I found another one at an absolute bargain price and I just couldn’t say no. So I bought it.
