Title: Throwover saddlebags okay under seat? Post by iarecanadian on 05/10/06 at 21:31:35 What is the best way to deal with the rectifier under the rear seat when mounting a throwover set of saddlebags under the rear seat? |

I just laid my bags over the fender and reinstalled the seat. No problems. |
Title: Re: Throwover saddlebags okay under seat? Post by vroom1776 on 05/11/06 at 10:51:56 you should be able to move the rectifier to a different location too. Just make sure it is bolted to metal as I'm pretty sure the fender acts as a heat sink for it. |

I went through several sets of saddlebags, and each ones I just laid over the top of the rectifier and stuck the back seat on. Rode that way for about 8000 miles, no problem. On my current set up I just have a roll bag mounted over the headlight. It's about the only thing that I could come up with that would work effectively and look ok on the bobber. Then again, I haven't been carrying as much stuff with me as when I was riding to class every day. The fun part about it is that the rectifier becomes a non-issue (unless you have to move the rectifier because you cut the fender as short as I did...) |
