Bought my '15 N1K in late November last year - 13,500-ish miles now. I was able to get the KQR saddlebags sometime in February or March of this year. I have never regretted the purchase, expensive though they may be. I think they make the bike better, both visually and operationally. The warning labels inside limit content weight to 11 lbs (I think), but I routinely carry about 20 lbs on each side without any problems. The bags and the bike can handle the weight. I also exceed the maximum recommended speed when the bags are mounted without any untoward effects.
My only complaint is that they stick out a little farther and require cleaning periodically to rid them of bug impacts even down in the handle cavities.
I also bought the liners. They are well built and fit the somewhat irregular shape, and they help to organize contents, but can be a pain to un-zip when I have to dig deeper for something. Put the least-used items in the inner compartment and it's no big deal.
Is this a great bike, or what?
