Remove the fender strut bolts and replace them with the ones from the saddle bags, and support the new bags with them. any more then that check their web site for the de-sructions man.

Hi,IMHO the most important equipment is the one that you wear and the one that your bike wears (saddlebags) because you need to protect yourself with helmet, jacket and gloves and also be able to carry and adequate arsenal of items. That is why personal equipment and saddlebags are the ABC of motorbiking.

Might be a bit high as prices have dropped with economy. A year ago it would have been a good deal, might still be depends on individual bike and location as prices vary in different parts of the country. Try running a check with KBB or Nada (one lists bikes but I cannot say which)

Qwick rule of thumb. 70% of retail will usually makes them go. In this economy you may have to go to 60%, even if in like new condition.

Dennis Kirk has a pretty good selection. We’ve had good service out of Saddlemen throw-over bags mounted under the seat and secured with saddle bag stays.http://www.denniskirk.com/jsp/tpl/cmn/prodlist.jsp?store=Main&catId=407&SR=&_requestid=221689

Hi there,I have recently purchased a set of saddlebags made from genuine buffalo leather and I can say that the build quality is great for the price. You can basically order from many places but I have recently spotted a few very good online shops that give great discounts. Since then I am only shopping for Harley Davidson’s accessories from there. Check the resource for that purpose.I am sure you will be more than able to fit in your budget for those items. Good luck!

harley and honda both build good bikes. i prefer harley myself, they are much more customizable than most foreign made bikes. don’t worry about harley quality issues you may hear about, those days ended in the ’70s. modern harleys are very dependable bikes. i have 28K on my ‘05 heritage and the only problem i have had was a faulty circuit breaker that was 10 bucks to replace.my wife rides an ‘03 honda shadow ace that is really a good bike. my only complaints are the small gas tank,(3 gal) and the bike seems a little underpowered. the second is only because i am used to a much larger engine size. which ever he chooses, don’t buy too small. stick to 750cc or bigger in a street bike. it is much better for 2 up riding and gives you the power you need on the highway. personaly ,i would say 800cc or larger.$7000 isn’t much money to spend on a cruiser/street motorcycle. a new harley sportster 883 will cost you more than that and you won’t get much bigger in a new honda for that money. look for used bikes. you can get a lot more bike for the money. many used bikes will have less than 10,000 miles and may cost half what a new one of the same model.

As far as appearance, you should match the style of your bags to the lines of your bike as closely as possible. The bags you featured would not look good on a sport bike but would be fine on a cruiser.Consider how often you will be riding and what gear you will be carrying with you. There are bags that can be locked; bags that can be removed from the bike if you stop overnight; hard-sided bags; soft-sided bags; bags that are small and bags that are very roomy. My personal choice is the cordura nylon bags. Tour Master makes some fine ones. That’s just a personal preference, however.

Saddle bags can go from $50 – $400 depending on allot of factors. Take some pictures of the inside of the bag, specifically the stitching and look for any tag’s or labels. They may look vintage, but leather can be aged with very little effort. I purchased a similar saddlebag at an antique store for $75 a couple of years back.Ebay them if you don’t want to hang on to them.
