Guess this is probably going to be a question for you riders State Side, has anyone got the Mustang Seats Hard Saddlebags, Leather look ones on a T'bird 1600 ?

Here is a link to my 2010 with Tsukayu quick release strong bags mounted. These are the same bags without the vinyl wrap. Having looked at the Mustang bags I am 100% positive that at the least the shell is coming from Tsukayu. This will give you an idea anyway as to the shape mounted on the bike. The curve of the top of the bag is pretty close to the curve of the rear fender. I am replacing these with the Mustangs due to being damaged from a lay down last summer.

Cheers BluesDrummer, they look sweet.

Think you're probably right about the Tsukayu bags, will check out price variation and shipping costs.
Did see a few bad remarks regarding the shipping from Tsukayu, did you have any issues ?

Hi Silverfox,

I have a couple of complaints about the Tsukayu purchase. They did take several weeks to ship. Exactly how long I really do not recall.
The other complaint I have is that the the gloss black paint peeled a bit where I drilled for easy brackets. I had to touch up the paint a little. Not a big deal since it was on the back side of the bag. Obviously vinyl covered would not have that issue. Tsukayu sells a vinyl covers version but they do not have the details that the mustang bags have, they are completely smooth. The only other thing would be that the strap that holds the lid when open was a bit short I thought so the lid will not stay open on its own.

Hope all that helps
