Anybody got experience with this? I have access to a welder, and don't mind making brackets or supports as needed

Soft all the way. No bracketry required. Easily completely removable. No contest for me. The OEM model M2 Cyclone bags are excellent if you can find a set. Similar aftermarket alternatives exist as well.

Well the 'easiest' might be the factory soft-side bags. Canvas rhombohedrons (?) connected by a 'throw-over' strap that goes under the seat. There is a little metal bracket that goes with it, but I can't tell that it does anything. I would bet about any kind of slanty-rectangular throw-over bags would go on fairly easy.

If you just need a small amount of stuff, Buell Blast bags look very nice and can be made to fit without much effort.

I like them on my M2.

If you're looking for something sporty and kind of roomy, I got the Cortech Sport system and like it. easy and fast setup.

Yah, it you aren't carrying a passenger, a back seat bag, they can hold as much as a saddlebag. Add a tankbag too. With all of them, like four saddlebags' worth of storage.

If you're looking for a cheaper alternative, have a look at the Chase Harper offerings.

I have the S3 fairing bracket put on my M2. I run the S3 bags, both wide and narrow. I also have the S3 fairing and tank on my M2. Love it. REX

There's also the Ventura rack system. About the only one made to fit M2.

I have the low-bar rack, the high-bar rack, and the grab handle. But none of their bags, any ol' backpack works about as well.

The high-bar works good to tie a back-seat bag to. Like a GI duffle bag!

I second the Ventura pack system. I have the same as Jayvee, all racks and grab handle. I have the large bag and it's very well made, even has reflectors.

Pricey though.
