How the room in the bags? Enough to carry around "the essentials"?
I was going to mount them until I noticed the tops, where the sissy bar mounts, is cut off.
I saw the cut-off wheel marks when I took them out of the box, didn't think anything of it. Looked at them better just before I was going to try them on and the mounting part for the sissy bar is gone.
The bags should work for me, a little deeper/wider would be better for a gallon of milk or such. I have my backpack also, they should work out great for minor store runs and such.
I picked up some solid bar to fab up some saddle bag supports, going to use the post in the tech session on making my own. I'm hoping to make them removable with simple wing nuts. I'll fab up a bracket that mounts to the fender, than the bar will be able to come off when the saddle bags are not used. Hopefully my plan will come together.
