They measure 6-3/8" x 15-3/4" x 12" deep. You're laptop should have no problem fitting and have plenty of room to spare.Old Drifter...can you tell me what the opening dimensions are on your Leatherlyke bags...i.e. once the tops are open? I'm looking for a larger set of bags to carry a 15" x 10" laptop routinely to work. Wondering if it will fit in your "roomy" bags

I was looking at the Mustang bags which I am pretty sure are the same size. I just might consider bags now. Sometimes I really miss the extra storage.After some major mods to the Osprey brackets I bought, and dropping to an 11.5" shock, I'm very happy with the look of these bags. Time to get them to paint.
Oh; like the signal light relocation too!

Look how well those bags follow the fender line. The machinist who modified the brackets for me said; "Wow. It's like they was made for this bike. Oh yeah, I guess I did make them for this bike". Made me laugh.

What a cool way to install hard bags and relocate the blinkers!
Yeah, cool if you like shaken stuff... those hard bags move together with the fender!

- October 05, 2016, 20:43:37 PMThey do, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with the mounts you sold me. I'm very satisfied with what I bought. However, for these particular bags, I need the bracket to extend further down by about 3.5 inches.
