We got the Giant Loop bags on!
We drove out to a nice riding area, then quickly installed my new saddlebags on my moto in the parking lot before heading out. At first, we put them on too far forward by accident, because it seemed like we should leave the stock bag on the rack. Then we realized it looked kind of odd, so we took off the stock bag and moved the Big Loop bags back on the bike to the "after" photo position below. Much better.
I personally really like the new saddlebags. They hold a lot less than we imagined they would, so these are definitely just for day trips and not camping gear storage. We could fit the set of repair tools in one side, and my warm layers, rain liner for my jacket, and some trail mix in the other. The back bag works for very small items; I joked it's my "moto-purse."

BEFORE - Too far forward  | AFTER - Further back; perfect!  |
