Nice bags. Not the largest or the nicest, but for the price they are a great buy. The back side is hard ABS so you can mount up to the easy brackets & have a very sturdy set-up. The leather is good quality and the lids completely cover the body to create a weather-resistant fit. Velcro for a first closure, the buckles for a second closure mean they don't open unless you want them too. There are eye-lets in the buckle tab to use a padlock to secure the bags. The OEM locks suck, so plan on buying your own locks (about $5 for a good pair of matching key Master locks @ Home Depot).
They are good bags, but because of the slant design, you lose some of the storage capacity. If you are going with a slant design, go with a larger bag. But otherwise, an excellent product.

I bought the jumbo size. When I got them they weren't as large as I expected them to be. They look a little small on my VN900. Very nice looking bags though. The buckels are a bit of a pain to get in and out of the bags. But other than that, you can't go wrong for the price.

These look great on the bike. I received them as a gift. I have had them for a year and they still look new.

These are the best bags I found online, easy to remove them from the bike.

Very nice bags, sturdy and inexpensive. My husband got them for me to put all my stuff instead of carrying a backpack. The locks are kind of weak, but I purchased some better ones.
