saddlebag supports
06/08/07 at 14:41:46
 
I am starting to look for some now saddle bags. Up til now i used some throwover ones i found on the fleamarket. i didn`t use a single bit of support.
i like the aero  stitch saddlebags but i really want some mounting brakcets or supports. the ones on the suzuki homepage look a bit cheap and very light duty. i wouldn`t trust those with large bags on a long trip.
How do you guys support our saddlebags??

the suzuki saddle bag supports that I got from Oneida suzuki are very strong. If those are the ones you are refering to, then I must say that they are more than strong enough for the heaviest bags.

The ones from Oneida suzuki are fine just got mine and the seem very solid I will fit them tomorrow and put the bags on. I got the bags from Ozark Mountain Wholesale $100 reduced to 49 . They seem ok to me.  They are real leather and of reasonable thickness too. I will try and post some pics when they are on the bike.
