Title: Saddlebag with quick release
Post by MichaelJ on 10/06/13 at 20:19:56

My weekend project: two quick-release saddlebag mounts for the Suzuki saddlebag support rails.
I used 3/8" thick ABS boards, starting with a 8x10" size and saddlemen bags (Saddlemen Cruisn Slant Saddlebag - Throw Over - Large 3501-0307 ).
The original bottom strap for with a quick r4elease for the saddlebag is tied to the ABS board and runs through under the support rail.

Good no rattling sounds or other issues.
However I grinded off a bit of material next to the shocks as they otherwise can come very close.

I did something similar with steel... Saddlemen bags also.
Used fasteners like this, since its the same as were on the orginal strap from Saddlemen that the bags attached to.

That makes sense! Where did you get the fasteners?
I did look for them with no luck.
