I have a set of Brand new hardsided rear mounted touring bags.$350 shipped,for 2012 and newer Yamaha/AC sleds.

That’s what most guys have figured out.with push through studs you get ballooning at high speed.And a increased chance of cooler damage over time.The iGRIPS have become popular for decent traction for riders that don’t need to live on the edge,with increased track life.win/win.
