Post WWII army surplus webbing was plentiful and was sometimes used for saddlebags; as a poor student I did in the mid 1970s.

I thought this might look good on a Drifter and have tried it with repro US Army 1942 pattern M36 Musette packs.

The packs shape is partly maintained by an aluminium armature that I fabricated in my garage. I've kept the shoulder straps on the bag so that if I ever want to I can take them off the frame and use them as throw-overs on a dual seat.
