Had recently ordered some new Saddlemen saddlebags for my husbands C90 from Dennis Kirk, and they sent me an email about some clearance items.  Surprisingly, they had a set of Saddlemen's for my S40 on clearance for $37 bucks (originally $150.99).  I was shocked.  Couldn't pass them up after seeing the quality of the ones we bought for the C90, and what a price! I found them for close to $200 at other places.  I debated between the medium and large sizes.  They showed the S40 on the fitment guide for the large, and I was afraid they'd be too big, but went with the large anyway (the medium was around $28).  They actually went on easily too, and I didn't even have to cut the yoke to go around the rectifier.  It fit right behind it.  It would be difficult to carry a passenger with these bags, but I don't do that anyway.  

Oh, I also got a $100 luggage rack for the hubby's C90 for $25!!  Its Hard Krome and very heavy and nice.  Another shocker.  Feel like I got great deals.

that's my good side, bill

Very sweet deals there.

Good Pic of the brackts and what they are bolted to sure would be nice. and I feel another mod is going to happen.... then I can do away with the passenger seat and expand the Flat bed for more stuff haulin

+1  on pictures of the backrest & brackets. I already started making one that I planned to use the front 2 fender strut bolts to retain.

And tell hubby to relocate your turn signals to the license plate bracket so your bags don't rub on the shocks. Those are nice looking bags.



A piece of 1/2" emt, stretched on each end by putting a soccket in the end & stretching with a little hammer work. A few holes drilled with a uni-bit & the stock turn signals slide right in. bolt it to the rear with your license bolts. Run the wirng along side the taillight wires, thru the existing hole, & make short extensions for the wires. It will give you room to slide the bags back off of your shocks. If the s40 turn sig. stems are the same size as savage.

Please ignore the rust, she's currently undergoing a makeover.

I'll take some better pictures this evening of the backrest and brackets.
 
I do want to relocate my signals!  Have wanted to since day 1, just haven't gotten there yet.  I actually never liked the stock signals and intended to find something different and relocate at the same time.  The new bags give me good reason to do it now, so thanks for that nudge.  That will be some winter tinkering, I'm sure.
