saddle bags
 

Hi folks, what do you think of these saddle bags? I kinda like them. What am I not considering?

They look nice! I think they would look good on a Hawk. Keep us posted!

Those are nice.

For 52 bucks, you may as well go ahead and get them coming this way. What about the panning bars?

Saddlebags
 

I just purchased those 2 weeks ago. ! I used them on a 100 mile ride in the state forest here in Pa ,,,definitely could use some panniers bars to the them onto. They no r around a bit ,but not enough to get into the rear wheel or cause trouble.They have a second zipper that allows them to become very wide,,,shown here

Super simple soft bag bars can be cheaply made with some conduit and a conduit bender. Pick a couple mount points on each side, bend the bar as needed to hold the bag up away from the rear tire, flatten the ends, drill a hole for the mount points. A simple hoop shape will be plenty strong to support the weight those bags are rated for.

I have those same bags on my scooter. I made a custom frame from SS and HDPE. Pix here:

So I found these on Ebay and offered $45. We will see if they bite. Buy it now was $57. If they go for 45 with shipping it will be under $50. I'm always looking for a deal.

I just bought these:

A 4-pack for $15, free shipping for $25 orders. I figure I can make something work.

I would be curious to see how they hold up to constant wind exposure if they are being used as a saddle bag. In any case, they are definitely cheap enough that you won't be too sad if one rips lol.

I could see one or two of those being very handy as a tail bag if you had a rack to secure them to. When not in use they could be flattened out. Good for grocery runs.

Those are neat. Keep us up on what ever you configure with them :tup::tup::tup:
