Saddlebag recommendations?

Awesome; thanks.

Do you have any problems with passengers on that accessing the rear footpegs?

My wife has a little trouble, but she has very short legs. My daughter on the other hand has no problems at all. Haven't had anyone else on the back with me.

I got a ste of Tourmasters for my wife's bike. Very adjustable and are the over-the-seat types. I did move the turnsignals back. The bags have noprene on the wheel-sides to keep the grime off. They are roomy and nice. About $140.00 I think.

Well, I think I'm just a gonna get a tank bag for my stuff... and my g/f is going to get all of hers in her backpack and just strap it to the seat back.

The seat back I spent all Saturday afternoon salvaging from my parks bike, which had been in a horrible wreck, so the brackets were all bent up. Had to fabricate something together from hardware store parts.

And I spent all Saturday evening polishing the exhaust from that parts bike - and original exhaust, barely any blueing! Looks great now (couldn't believe how much gunk I took off with steel wool).

So now other than the seat back the bike is all stock, so I don't want to relocate the signals (which I think I'd have to do for a big enough saddlebag).

I'm not happy with the weight up high with the tank bag and the seat back bag, especially since I know I need new front fork springs, but it'll have to do...
