i want to add saddle bags to by bike. I want something in the line of soft saddlebags and ones that are more "sport" looking.. something more of a nylon material instead of leather. any suggestions?

thats perfect. have you tryed riding somebody on the back w/ the bags on?

Yes my wife has ridden as well as my oldest daughter, the bags are not in the way at all. I have moved the straps under the pillion since those pictures were taken, and the seat fits back on great even with the straps for the bags under it.
