I feel the same about  trunks, You don't want one so big that it makes the bike look small. The Indian trunk was the smallest I could find but very expensive also.  I have looked for some time to find one thats the right size and doesn't look too modern. Good find!

To BamBam - Thanks BamBam, I was looking at an Indian hard trunk for awhile but they look too modern, what type of trunk were you looking at? I hate covering up the fenders also but what to do with stuff? I put in a bid on some leather bags this morning.

I bought this trunk off Ebay for $32.  it's smaller than most trunks at 19"x15"x12".  I just didn't like the looks of really big trunks plus, I think this looks more old-school.  The chrome polished up really nice, the locking mechanism is solid and it's sturdy.  I plan on replacing the rack with something slightly bigger depth wise.  The bike is in storage so I haven't put it on it to stand back and look at how I like it but so far, so good...

The bid was accepted and they are on the way :-[
But there is another fella that is selling the same bags but for more.

He doesn't respond to offers (I tried) but hey maybe I softened him up for you.
For Greenbarn - I think they are a partial hard bag, solid everywhere except on the front panel?
I won't be able to see them until I get back as they will arrive while I'm gone.

Thanks again DC for the heads up . Here is a quote from the ad.
**Different from 2014 leather; leather was changed in 2015 for better UV protection**
If you buy some make sure they are 2015 bags.

Those are hard bags, right???   If you don't buy them, I'd like to get a shot at them...  I looked for a set for quite a while, only finding singles here and there...

From what I read it was the pre 2015 bags, the 2015 and up are supposed to be better.
The bags I'm looking at were made in late 2015. They were taken off a new Indian and replaced with black bags.
See picture below. I made an offer , now it's wait and see. Thanks for the heads up.
