    Hello,

    This is my first attempt at installing saddlebags. Notice I have to use the net. At first I thought I could loop the leather under the seat and attach them under the seat but they would touch the pipes. Anyone have any luck installing saddlebags ? A bracket? Got pictures?

    You might have to relocate your rear turn signals further rearward with a couple pieces of metal plate. You can also fabricate a guard to fit behind the saddlebags using some flat bar aluminum fastened from the back of the rear pegs up to the existing rear turn signal mount positions. This would keep the bags out of the wheels.
    Here's what someone else did for saddlebag supports http://sjackson.smugmug.com/Other/AR-TAT-Sep-2010/0920001937/1075319826_RLZSx-L.jpg
    If you need something more substantial, you might be able to adapt a set of vintage Vetter side racks (they already have the rear turn signal relocation hole).
