man, i wish someone would respond to this thread. i'm in the market for some saddlebags now and i'd like some advice as well. to answer your question above, i can't really recommend anything as i have zero experience in saddlebags myself, but i've found quite a few websites with tons of bags listed between $60-$150. i'm not gonna advertize on here, but just Google "motorcycle saddlebags" and check out the first few sites that you find.
from what i've observed, bags made of PVC tend to be cheaper, cheaper looking, but more weatherproof. bags that are leather or leather synthetic look a lot better, cost more, but might not be as waterproof. since most bikers tend to stay out of the rain, i don't think weatherproof or waterproof should factor in all that much, but durability is a must.
so which is better? PVC or leather? if you get cheap bags, are they really gonna fall apart in a few years? any suggestions?
