Title: Saddle bag
Post by keith on 06/27/13 at 22:24:24

I just bought my first bike ever a 97 Savage, so far I love it. I am trying to find a decent set of saddle bags and brackets that do not require me to relocate my tail lamps. Any help would be very appreciated.

I fitted a pair of BROWN Leather saddlebags I bought from Leatherup.com

Xelement 2921-BR Slanted Brown Motorcycle Saddlebags, they rate at about $110.
Mine were smaller than advertised, so the liners I had manufactured locally while waiting for delivery proved absolutely useless !
:P
They're advertised as "waterproof leather", they're actually made of leather panels glued (then stitched) onto a plastic shell.

Still, they look nice and get the job done.

AND

Brown leather ages in style, whereas black leather simply looks "old and scuffy"

;)

Hi

I am looking for good saddlebags for my 2000 savage (green/white). What is the mounting procedure like with these? Do I need a custom bracket, or do they come with a standard braket to mount? Are they big enough to hold a laptop case?

Thanks!
