Default 16 SG Saddlebag

Had a semi pull out in front of me at a stop light and had to lay it down or become the new paint job on the trailer. Did minor damage which is surprising since i was going 50, anyways i need to replace a saddlebag and cant find anywhere i can buy just one. Anyone know of a place where i can get a single saddlebag? thanks!

I'm not sure on the saddlebag other than eBay, but if you didn't hit the trailer sliding the bike, you wouldn't of hit it, hard braking. You will stop a lot faster keeping the rubber side down.

The eBay suggestion.....good.
Kicking a guy while he's down.....not so much.

Hate that it happened, that sucks.

Why don't you just file a claim with your insurance and have your bike fixed?

StreetGlider50...glad you're ok. EBay, craigslist, or the classifieds on here would probably get you a better deal...but it might take some time to find somebody with exactly what you need. If you can still ride it, then it might be worth the wait to save a few bucks.

Av8or...I don't think Browning meant to "kick a guy while he's down". I think (hope) it was offered as a safety tip regarding the stopping capability of modern motorcycles equipped with ABS and linked braking systems. Obviously it was not me being "kicked". But if it were...I'd consider it a small price if it keeps someone else from becoming a bug on a bumper.

Well there were a couple factors, it was raining on the road was soaked causing my tires to skid and kick back and forth. Second I did not see the truck until he was pulling out into the intersection so I only had a minuscule time to react, could I of got it stopped; maybe. But in the time I had to react I did what I thought would save my life
