I agree, the panniers are ugly. The slimline plastic ones look much nicer. But cruise and the other gibbens from factory are a nice brucy bonus. These bikes really held their value. I have been looking at them for about 3 years now and they stay around the 5 grand plus mark. Not sure how but they just do..Not like a GS or BM that loses about a grand a year..a 2016 l/c TE is around 6k...and a 2010 w/c is hoping for 6k with the same mileage...market is weird at the moment. 6 years development and difference but the same price...
