I think they'll look great Marco. Nice find!

Thanx Gene, your appreciation really helps me to swallow the huge outlay that I've had to face for those saddle bags...
Damn import taxes!

I've just purchased a pair of hard saddle bags: they're from the 50's and are so called "bubble bags".
I am most grateful to Mr. Zoar, who helped me out shipping them to my country. Thanx bud!
Now I'm gonna fix some minor issues for one of said bags and then I'll red paint them.
Meanwhile, I'm gonna fab, together with a local bender, the new saddle bag brackets (BTW: many credits to Mr. Seedman, who helped me out with it).
Look at the pic (a simple mock-up, just for rendering).

Getting close.  The bike and bags are repainted.  The bags will sit for a couple weeks to let the clear cure.  When I get the bags back I'll put the side rails and top rails on.

LOL  I just saw the question to my comment.  What I was asking with the 'Crystal decanters'  remark was what are you putting in your bags that is so sensitive to being jarred?   Put a towel or some foam if need be and 90 percent of whatever your hauling will be fine.   Older hardtail baggers frieght survived just fine.

Nice bags, good size too. You managed to keep them tucked in. I also had to modify my back lights to make the bags fit. Looking forward to see those bags painted.
