Title: throw over saddlebags Post by TZK on 11/28/21 at 05:49:08 I just bought a set of these saddlebags. https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/willie-max-braided-straight-throw-over-saddlebags?utm_campaign=order_confirmation&utm_content=Product&utm_medium=email&utm_source=RevZilla Very good quality for not a lot of money. Anyway, I was planning to install them under the seat but only now do I realize that the regulator/rectifier sits right where the yoke should be placed. I'm concerned about heat from the reg/rec damaging the yoke if it's placed on top of it. What do you think? Am I worrying unnecessarily? |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by Yoshi on 11/28/21 at 06:50:38 You're very right, you can very easily relocate the rr BTW- whats gonna stop these saddle bags from getting caught in the rear wheel? |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by TZK on 11/28/21 at 07:30:24 Is there a thread detailing how/where to relocate the rr? The bags have stiff plastic inside to help retain their shape. They also come with rope to prevent them from flapping. I think it'll be fine. If not, I'll have to figure something out. |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by Tazmool on 11/28/21 at 21:23:22 I too was wondering about the voltage regulator location under the seat, and how to get saddle bags on. I was thinking of not using throw over bags, but something that mounts to a rack maybe? Tazmool |

Throw over bags can also be mounted above the seat. But it doesn't look as nice and won't be as comfortable for the passenger. |

If you remove the seat you can get a better idea of how long the wire leads are and where to remount the regulator. (I searched but wasn't able to find a discussion on regulator relocate) |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by justin_o_guy2 on 12/01/21 at 14:22:19 I didn't like the fit on mine. I didn't want to relocate the rr. I went to the store and got grommets, cut the bags apart, and laced them together with paracord. I was able to adjust the bags to the height and angle I wanted. They stayed right where I wanted them until that woman turned left across me. Then a bag got ripped off, but the back stayed! Just lost everything In the bag.. People picked it all up and took it home.. Grrr! |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by kylejang on 01/02/22 at 07:35:39 I just got used willie &max bag too. First I thought about cutting middle part and slide top of RECTIFIER then change mind. I installed under the RECTIFIER using longer bolt. My only concern is overheating for RECTIFIER. Anyone see this as problem please let me know. Thanks you. |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by TZK on 01/02/22 at 17:49:12 That looks like a problem to me. I wouldn't recommend it. |

ATM I have them thrown over the passenger seat. I don't really care for the look but it'll do for now. BTW I also installed these support brackets. They went on easily. https://www.ebay.com/itm/393534765320 |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/04/22 at 16:32:34 I got grommets and a setting tool. From hobby lobby. Cut the strap between the bags,folded it to double it. Used parachute cord to lace them up. Holes drilled in the back,cord to the brackets. They didn't flop around and hung right where I wanted and didn't get in the way of the rectumfrier. Gotta seal the holes in the back. Unless you like water in your bags. |

Title: Re: throw over saddlebags Post by TZK on 01/05/22 at 09:59:31 Here's a photo of my throw over Willie & Max saddlebags. It would look a lot better without that big "X" in the middle but then it would be a lot harder to adjust the height of the bags. |
