Magician Saddle Bags/ Containers
Does anyone know of a saddle bag or container I can mount to the Magician for $50 or less?
Are there some that people are using for the Hawk that may work for the Magician? Thanks |

I recently installed one of these on my Hawk. I lucked out and picked one up for $22.20 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Universal-3...53.m1438.l2649

$16 .50 caliber Ammo Cans from HF make good water tight panniers. https://www.harborfreight.com/50-cal...can-63181.html I think Timcosby has a post on here on how he mounted them.

I'm using 2 ammo cans and 2 lap top bags as the hard and soft panniers for my bike. You can find ammo cans at pawn shops or outdoor army surplus stores for 1/2 of the online price. I paid 12 for the 2 laptop bags in new condition at a thrift store. The nicer laptop bags are cool because they are well made and have a re-enforced flap inside you just push down and the bottom goes flat and sturdy. I have carried 2 2 liters of soda in each bag easily. The ammo boxes you can lock with a little steel chain and padlock, I use them for my utility needs. I also picked up an army canteen bag, insulated with a big closer flap, will velcro or zip tie to anything and fits well as a quick and easy tank/fender bag. Goes really well zip tied up above the rear tire where no one can see it

My goal is to not have to weld a bracket to hold the bags. They sell "universal" saddlebags online, but I don't see anyway to support them, in other words they would just hang and flop around.. Never good on a motorcycle.
I guess if I want bags/ container on the bike I'll have to create some kind of bracket? I am a big fan of Goodwill so I'll keep an eye out for some goodies there... |

For the laptop bags I tied the handles together in a knot and laid them across the bike with the seat off. Once I had my bags hanging even I added a zip tie to each handle/strap then put the seat back on. |
