- April 23, 2016, 21:16:38 PMNice looking saddlebags. What brand are they? How much did they charge on Ratman's credit card?? You did get that CC# I texted you, right?? 
Nice mounting system!

- April 23, 2016, 20:07:05 PMBags installed! An easy way to mount them is shown in the pics. I just took the flap that normally goes over the fender and riveted it to the back side of the bag near the bottom. then you just unzip the bag from the flap, run it through the bracket, and zip it back up. Then tie to the bottom of the u bracket. Just untie and unzip to remove!

- April 23, 2016, 08:49:50 AMrpoturica: that looks pretty good. One word of advise from the wise. DO NOT underestimate how far that rear fender moves up and down... Otherwise you will end up with a mark in either the fender or the fender stays or the exhaust or ..... Don't ask me how I know. 
Have a good time at Iron Pony -- You can eyeball and drool all over a few Indians while you are there. And Ratman is wrong -- I do not have an account there --- I just used his credit card info to buy him that coffee cup I sent him, good thing he didn't notice

- April 23, 2016, 05:29:25 AMGREAT job and nice looking brackets for the 800. They look and appear close to the factory 1500 solo seat strut/brackets for saddlebags that are rare and hard to find. You could also make or add the top rack (Rare and hard to find) like the 1500 has to add storage and looks. I saw the top rack only sell on eBay a few weeks ago for $300.
If your looking to make things on the side that are super rare Solo Seat Rail for the 800 and the 1500. That would be a good candidate to feel the need of rare parts and wanted items. I paid $450 for a used one that needed powder coated.
I've been waiting on Scootworks for my solo seat saddlebag brackets costs $220 range (No Longer made but occasionally does a small batch in the past) since last year with no end in site.
This past Friday, I ordered the Osprey 800 saddlebag brackets for the 800, costs $99 free s/h and the owner also has some for the 1500 that were in stock. The Osprey brackets can be used with the solo or double seats.
Here's a pic of the 1500 solo seat set-up with the Top Rack and the 1500 solo seat rail mounted to my 800.....................
