Title: Who's got the sport saddle bags?
Post by: pizzleboy on May 21, 2004, 10:38:16 AM
I've got the Joe rocket saddle bags, but find that they sit too far back.

Just wondering how other people hook them up.

I've got the front strap under the seat, and the back strap just behind the passenger bar.

Anyways, just seems a little far back, that's all.

Could you shove a decent sized notebook computer(with case)  into those saddlebags?  I've got to take my computer back and forth to work.

Pizzle, I had the same issue with JR  bags on my '04 F.
Try putting the rear strap under, the front over. The front strap should fall just forward of the dip in your seat, securing it a little more. It'll settle down with a load. Check the latch carefully, tho' cuz you know...
