Hey guys, I'm a fairly new rider and I had an interesting experience last night. I was riding along just chillin about 40 mph and my backpack falls off the back of my bike. :-( Sad day. My backpack is ruined and I figured it was time to invest in some saddlebags. But I have a few questions that no one can answer for me, so I'm turning to you for help.
What is Universal Fit concerning saddlebags?
Are motorcycle brackets specific to every type of bike?
What are the consequences of riding without saddlebag brackets?
Do saddlebags get in the way of me carrying a passenger?
Thanks so much guys. Ride well.
Tim

hey up!
not sure what eddie mens by ask spacie..cheeky git lol! But I think ya need to look for those sort that go in shape of a tear drop for your bike! No wif you live dby me i know a guy who sells just what ya want. Best bet tho is to go to an independent biker shop, not one that sells certain types of bikes, that way you will get more choice.. and possibly better advice!! Good luck!

P.S.... saddlebags wont or shouldnt interfere with a passenger if fitted right. ALso take no notice of universal fit... load of crap lol! They usually mean power ranger bikes not cruisers lol!
Happy searching!

If you can keep your head while all about you are losing theirs, you probably haven't grasped the seriousness of the situation!
