Title: New saddlebags to fit my '99 1500 Drifter
Post by: water buffalo on July 20, 2014, 14:39:11 PM
My bike, which was bought used from the original owner, came with "LeatherLike" hard saddle bags. Since the design of the Drifter doesn't lend itself too the normal mounting for saddle bags, and the bags I currently have mounted tend to flex while riding, I was wondering if anyone might know of some other manufacturers who with a more rigid mounting. Also I don't fancy having to pay what these things seem to retail for.

Do you have any pictures of the mounting system? There are quite a few out there, and some are good, and some are, well, not!
