    Yeah, these bags are a little bigger and are a bit more useful.

    Gotta take those XJ shocks off and rebuild them AGAIN. They're leaking all over the rear brake AGAIN! Got some different seals this time. Those LeakProof seals are garbage.
    Bummer on havin' to rebuild those shocks.......again! FWIW, found through conversation among riders a decade ago when still involved in the moto-x world the LeakProof brand seals were exactly as you stated. Got faith in ya' buddy, you'll get that resolved.

    Ahh. I had the newer model, and will replace them with floods, like on my XS.

    Hey Ben- Are those spot or flood? Looks like spot. I was not impressed with my U7's. Trying some floods soon.

    Thanks once again to Mark Lew for getting these and installing them for me...and Thanks to Kurt for bringing these to our attention...they looked awesome on your bikes at XSSE...
    BTW these are Cree Laser Gun U2/U3 LEDs...30w ...with High beam..low beam and a strobe mode as well..I'm still working out the proper light pattern for diffusion of light but as they sit now they light up everything with authority...How is it i survived all these years without this kind of aux. lights?

    Then to get started on the front.
