Throw-over SaddleBags on my K-9

[Jersey Big Mike]

Got a set of cheap throw over bags last year.

Finally trying them out. Need to make a few little tweaks to make easier on/off but so far so good.

IGNORE the bad chrome on my V&H pipes!



Going to have to pack light going to Thunder on the Beach while I await replacement Sissy Bar from Ginz.

Will this setup scratch the paint?

 

[No H2O]

perhaps a silly question but how do the bags secure (from flying off the fender)?

I strapped my leather jacket to rear fender for 30 miles , it scuffed up paint but finally rubbed out ok Just watch out for those straps rubbing/vibrating but like the opportunity to carry something!

I had a swing arm bag that rubbed paint off

I've got a strap wrapped around the frame under the seat in the front and the rear one is wrapped around the tail light.

The bike still looks somewhat clean since the girls at Twin Peaks worked on it

I've actually washed it as well since then -- not a great job but enough to blast off all the crap that got on it on the way home.

Wow Mike, what is up with that

Had some work to do on it and thought it'd be easier to find the bolts if I knocked the dirt off!

Not likely

I've only ever kept ONE New Years resolution -- and that was to stop make new years resolutions!

Have kept to that for decades now!
