    I just got in some new saddlebags for my latest bike and I'm having some issues getting them adjusted to where the seat will lock back into place. For those of you with throw overs that go under the seat, can you post some pics of how you have them and how they sit on your bike? I'd like to get some comparisons and make adjustments on my bike based on the pics.

    I don't have bags but would like to know what you bought. Are they interfering with the latch? You may have to rim them a bit.

    on mine, I had to cut away some of the leather, put new holes and then re-thread it. but still was a pain the A$$ to latch at times.. With the new setup.. I have the front the same, but as for the back, I ran a piece of cord/rope(thin) throught 2 eyeholes at the back and it ties behind the seat to each other. so the only thing under is the front crossover of the bags.

    I didn't have mine go over the fender. I just bolted them to the grab bar.
