Thanks.

They are not the new version. I believe it will fit all years. As far as symmetry, I'm not sure. the left bag sticks out a bit because of the exhaust pipe.

They have a stiffener in them. You can cinch them down, though, to keep the contents from moving around,

I have a set of Rocky Mountain saddlebags, with the internal waterproof liners, Wolfman racks, and all hardware and bolts to mount them right up. I used them once for a 3 day ride. Never crashed. They look good and proportional on the ST, because they are a bigger bag. The new bags are about...

Well, certainly an automatic cam chain tensioner eliminates the potential for human error on the part of the owner or service technician. In my experience, I don't like them. They are a common failure point on many motorcycles, and I have MCCT's on my DR-650, Drz 400, and Super Tenere. But I...
