George B Report post Posted June 29, 2012 (edited) After months of paint, chrome, custom work and more I finally got the bike in my shop to assemble and mount the saddlebags. Not sure yet I want to do another set again. The brain work almost killed me. Started out a set of just plain old throw over the luggage rack bags, it then evolved into a project that was way beyond my experience. I used W&C English bridle leather and Watts stainless steel hardware. Bags have lift brackets and supports behind and use 2 buckles per side attached to a yoke under the rear seat to hold the bags in place and allow the user to take off and on fairly easily. Aluminum plate in lid sewn between 2 layers of 5 ounce leather, and a full aluminum back and top side supports. Front and back are 12 ounce.Traditional western saddlebag billows (customer did not want piping). 5 inches wide. Any suggestions, comments and criticism would be greatly appreciated, the money was pretty good and I would like to maybe do more.Thanks, George Edited June 29, 2012 by George B Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
