Will get some pics when my camera returns from new york with my sis in law. I like the bag you have up there but you may wanna go a little bigger. Cuts down on the sportiness but if your riding to a softball game or getting some groceries a little bigger is better.

I think it looks good on your bike.
I've got a set of throw over saddle bags I just put on last week. Rode with them loaded today. Works well. Carried my lunch into work.

Looks good, but what does the Post-It Note say?

I think any bag looks goofy on the 900's.
