#509688 koolau (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 382 Re:Saddlebag debate, kgo. 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I have a set of stock mounts that I might try to make work....Or buy the ghost brackets. I really really wish I could see them in person, but the photos of them look good to me. I'm still researching though to see what I can find.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #509695 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10017 Re:Saddlebag debate, kgo. 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   i had the ghost brackets and i didnt like them at all. the bags flop around alot and i got a rattle with every bump. the rattle im sure i could have messed with the brackets and got rid of it but the floping was due to no lower suport and there was nothing i could do. looked like my bike was gunna take flight. but im sure it would be find with light leather bags or something similar   Logged     feel free to look thru my albums email me at jasonwoody1982@yahoo.com my 2005 midnight 1700 ORIGINAL ROAD SLAMMER   The administrator has disabled public write access. #509700 Roger7886 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1407 Re:Saddlebag debate, kgo. 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Was there no way to connect the ghost brackets to each other under the fender? Or some way to connect the bottom of the bags together to keep them from flapping sorry for laughing Jason, I'm just picturing a bike riding down the highway at 100, bags flapping like wings, and the whole bike taking off lol   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #509706 smokescreens (User) lifes better riding twins Platinum Boarder Posts: 10017 Re:Saddlebag debate, kgo. 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Roger7886 wrote: Was there no way to connect the ghost brackets to each other under the fender?

I always have to speed past the hubster and flag him down when he/we forget to latch one of this bags. Ugh, I need to stop looking at this stuff (lik ethat is going to happen), cuz now I'm thinking of trying to do my own bag design and make it with fiberglass. The hubs is going to kill me, we may need to build another shop at this point.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #509719 Roger7886 (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1407 Re:Saddlebag debate, kgo. 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   smokescreens wrote: Roger7886 wrote: Was there no way to connect the ghost brackets to each other under the fender?

Yea I got to thinking about that after I said it and I'm glad you didnt! I think that's the key tho, making sure there is bottom support for whatever bag you decide on koolau. That way the bags and brackets don't get beat up like smoke said.   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #509730 donelam304 (User) Gold Boarder Posts: 620 Re:Saddlebag debate, kgo. 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   If anyone is saling or wanna trade some stock bags n mounts.

Hey i found a company while searching on the web. they have a large variety of saddlebags, bags were looking nice in reasonable prices. I think you must check them at once.

There is no cross support, or bottom support from the looks of it, although its kinda hard to tell since the "kit" is laid out in a pile....   Logged     I was born An AR in my hands Behind the gun Ill make my final stand And thats why they call me Bad Company   The administrator has disabled public write access. #509806 koolau (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 382 Re:Saddlebag debate, kgo. 10 Months, 3 Weeks ago   johnmathew wrote: koolau wrote: I think I might have a heart attack at that point.
