Ya when I first received them I was super skeptical. Like no matter what, these bags on any sport bike with upwards facing exhaust will be in direct line of sight from exhaust gas. Zero issues all last year but my very first grocery run this year everything went to shit.
These were purchased from a motorcycling store and made by a company who makes saddlebags for motorcycles so I put my trust in that. Evidently, I shouldn't have.
Possibly too much weight made the bags sag just enough to be in the exhaust's line of fire.
