Does anyone know of any inexpensive lugguage/saddlebags for a 07 nightrain? I'm looking for something without studs,tassles and all that.....possibly something that is durable and detaches easily....Any help is appreciated.
I've got an old army rucksack I bought from an army surplus store. It's not pretty, and I actually kind of like it that way. You just need a sissy barto mount it. Harley has a new one that I like, but I'm not sure if you can use a luggage rack with it. I don't want it to rub on the fender. By the way, the rucksack only cost me $15, and being in the army I can tell you firsthand they are pretty rugged.
I'll second the sissybar bags. I bought a bobtail fender rack and a detachable sissybar, I tie my bag to my sissybar and then when I need to take it off I just pop off the sissybar with the bag still tied to it. works awsome, and looks good too.
Pack only what you need to get there and pack what you'll need there in a box and have a friend mail it to you a couple days before you get to your destination. My wife and I rode from MD to way upstate NY on our NT. We put a weeks worth of stuff into the sissy bar bag, and just washed stuff if we needed more. Hella good times.
