Saddlebag recommendations.

yupper super happy with these gears bags, had a couple years, thousands of miles, on and off several bikes quite a few times even did pretty well staying dry without using the included rain covers. They have a double top zip, quick in and out with no spills, have a zippered expansion, velcro straps. cam locks extra straps to attach lower front to bike D rings etc.

I've used equine bags, but these are hands down better. They're not old school cool styl'n. But the constant admirers of our old bikes on the Ozarks trip didn't seem to mind.

Are you using any kind of support frame with those bags @gggGary. I really like them, nice and small with but with the expanders hold alot of stuff.

Yeah I have simple aluminum flat bar L's bent, drilled and attached to the rear fender bracket so the bags can't swing in towards tire n chain.

On madness I have these from a road star cut and welded to fit.

Well it doesn't get much more simple than that. And at less than $90 those gears bags wont break the bank.
