Intruders-Alert

Just what the subject says, my leather saddlebags tend to flop around in the wind when empty. Besides being unsecured while I park in the city with no locks and being easily detached.

Trying to find a set of slanted hard bags that fit nicely with the lines on my bike. The roomier the better. Probably something with turn signals since the stockers will likely be in the way. I already have LED flasher so that's no problemo.

I have seen several, but its hard to find pics to compare what they'd look like on the bike.

i too had the same issue and don't really have the money to buy nice so i bought this pair off craigslist for $20 they worked great till i bought the trunk and couldn't use the top opening box and i needed more space for work tools

So i cut the boxes in half and widened them another 5" that was a fun experience for y first time using fiberglass i made the tops open out instead of forward

Those were one of the sets I was looking at, are they fairly sturdy?

very sturdy even if using the brackets they come with. not very waterproof

I have leather lykes and they lock and work fine the web site has plenty of options

Get alot of rain in Michigan. I generally avoid it if I can, but sometimes end up caught out in it anyway..

Picked a set up from the ebay

Only took two years to get around to it! The leather bags I had were starting to come apart at the seams so I figured might as well.

Drilled out the turn signals on the cases and put the sockets from my stock ones in so I could use my led bulbs. Also drilled some holes in it to mount to the factory saddlebag supports.

Looks a HELL of a lot better now!
