- July 10, 2011, 10:59:14 AMI purchased an 04 1500 in Colorado and am flying down from Washington State to ride it home.
The bike is very stock and has 7000 miles and I'm trying to sort out a couple of things.
I can do a superlight trip staying in motels but still need to carry a certain amount of raingear etc. and would like to take along a few luxury items and extend my ride home by a few days and miles.
I'm planning on calling Osprey monday morning and purchasing a set of thier Drifter saddlebag supports.
Assuming they are available in time. "I'm leaving in 12 days" I would like to buy a cheap set of bags to use for the ride home.
If someone would pm or post the approximate size and style "slant?" of bag that would fit a bike with stock mufflers, solo seat etc. that would be helpful.
Because I'm looking at pretty inexpensive bags I'm OK with some cutting/drilling and zip tying to mount them on the Osprey support rack and if they aren't a perfect proportion thats OK I'm just hoping to get something workable that won't damage the finish or fender.
Thanks for any help, I'm picking the bike up in Grand Junction and can go through Denver or Salt Lake if there are any opinions as to route, possible dealers or things I should check on the bike before I leave I'd like to hear them. Denny in Sequim, Wa.
