Looks pretty but looks like it wastes lots of potential storage space.

this comment confuses me. where is the lost storage space? all of that plastic is for huge saddle bags and top boxes. it already had 6k cu or something of space.

Yeah but it leaves that huge hole between them. Looks odd to me, like something is missing. That and the curves have to make it harder to use the saddles to their full extent
