I am getting ready to order a soft saddlebag/tailbag set & a windshield for my Buell Blast...

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k156/custodian7138/BUELL.jpg

I was set on these from Motorcycle-superstore...

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/71/5241/ITEM/Cortech-Sport-Saddlebags.aspx

but these are shown in the new issue of Motorcyclist...

http://www.motorcycle-superstore.com/1/4/71/35090/ITEM/Tour-Master-Select-Saddlebags.aspx

Which set looks best to you? BTW... the stock upright bars are going back on instead of the MX bars shown.

I don't have any experience with either but recognize them both to be prominent names.  I'll tell you though I REALLY like RKA bags.

I've been using one of their expandable tail bags for the better part of 11 years with no issues.  It has faded but kept its shape and couldn't be more secure.

I've got the Cortech sport saddle bags on my M2 Cyclone and I love them.  Also got the matching tailpack too.  It's a great set.

Sturdy, holds bunches.  Can't go wrong with the Cortechs.

Finally... just what I needed to hear... & from a Buell guy. I will have the cash on my second payday in February (Xmas, my wifes bday, & my daughters bday have sucked up my "disposable income" since the end of December).

I pulled my tank off last weekend... verified my oil leak to be the PCV/grommet... ordering them from Chicago HD... cleaned up the oil mess with carb cleaner... ready to order the bags & windshield next.

Thanks for the thumbs up on the Cortechs.

Here's a  crappy cell phone pic of them on the Cyclone...

The saddlebags are a bit faded, the tail pack is new.
