HELP
can someone tell me how I should install saddlebags on my bike.
Believe it or not I have never had saddlebags on a bike before, this is no April fools joke. Don't tell me to just have her sit behind you, either
Thanks

Take off the pillion seat, throw the strap over the rear fender.  Make sure the voltage recitifer is not covered my the strap.  Adjust the length of the strap using the ties supplied with the bags.  Remount the pillion seat and ride on.

No joke.

WARNING: Do you have saddlebag mounts and/or check that your bags will not catch in your rear tire when you lean into a turn?

Oh yes! I forgot the most important part....  You really need saddle bag supports to keep them from hitting the rear tire or get tangled in the belt....
