    ;) I was looking at a floor register the other day, and then got to thinking how to make one like that in a size to cover the hole and use the lovers to direct the air flow over the R/R. and could powder coat it  black to make it blend in.......a new winter project in the offing......

An air scoop sounds like a good idea or maybe even move the R/R to another location.
Them things are air-cooled so don't want to start having issues later on.

  I am sure a master DIY like you could come up with son sort of an air scoop to direct the air flow into the R/R.

Sure would like to see a pic of a Drifter 800 with a bag like the one on the 2nd pic. Looks like it will fit the frame lines well.
But wouldn't it cover the air flow to the R/R?

Mounting them on the fender isn't the greatest idea since the fender bounces with the tire... and since the fenders aren't metal you can get stress cracking etc. I had a pair of Ospreys on mine for a short time... the old ones mounted to the fender. It worked ok, but I never carried anything much in them.

The second is a frame mounted bag... not possible  in that configuration on a 1500...

I've wanted to put together a saddlebag page, like the seat page, but haven't gotten much response from folks - pics and mounting info.

Please keep us updated on your project!

I'm planning to replace my saddlebag and would like to know if any of you guys have pictures of a drifter with solo saddlebag like in the picture below or with knucklehead style saddlebag (I worry a little bit about those and the weight the fender can carry?). Please feel free to recommand supplier of the above mention saddlebags....thanks again!
