  • leftover soft saddlebags?

    Looking for someone's old (intact) saddlebags that might fit my '81 MNS. I'm super cheap, so I'm hoping to get someone's discards and pay for shipping, and possibly a small stipend. I just want to be able to toss a few things in the sack and take off rather than having to worry about wearing a backpack all the time - especially with summer approaching.

    My bike came with the cargo rack/backrest combination. Backrest has a zipper pouch. I carry some bungee cords in the pouch. I used this to transport two large boxes form my office to UPS this week. I bet I looked almost as hillbilly as Steppenwolf when he packs.

    But it does work out very well so far.
    Life is what happens while your planning everything else!

    When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

      Yeah, that would work for boxes, but I carry a 3-liter bottle of soda with me to work 2-3 times a week (yeah, I drink that much), and I like to run to the pet store for supplies now and again. I think I need a bit more storage than just a little zipper pouch... Though a luggage rack may sound nice at some point in the future.
