I saw a guy in Titusville with a Triumph Bonneville who hauled his miniature pincher around in one. The dog loved it. Ten times better than a dog sticking his head out the window!!!

They look great!
How many bolts hold each bag? I see the two that go in the rail, are there one or two additional on each bracket to hold the bag? If there is just one, does the bag "swivel" at all? The instructions just show one bolt on each bracket.
Nice work! Gorgeous bike too.

Thanks! The brackets come with three holes to bolt the bags to them but I only used two of the holes and had the rest cut off because they were too long, so I used two holes on each side of each bag. I do finde them to vibrate a bit but not too much. Overall, for the price I like the final outcome.

Here's the link. Only $115. Plus $29 for mounting brackets. Shipping varies.

http://www.mutazu.com/products.php?cat_id=7&menu=Hard%20Saddlebags&product_id...

The brackets look like simple flat bar that has been bent to the proper shape with holes drilled. I wonder if they might be able to be fashioned by a DIYer and save some money.

You could pick up the flat stock and attaching hardware at just about any hardware store. Looks like an easy bending job. I'd guess about $5-6 in materials and less than 30 minutes of DIY time and you'd have a solid custom fit.

I know the LED's don't draw enough current for the flasher, and was considering some solutions. Before i did anything I wanted to see what you did. Thanks.

I added a LED equalizer to correct the flash, u can get from autoparts. Post pics so we can see your ride.
