switch back saddle bag protection
How do you guys protect the hard bags when they aren't on the bike? Would it be possible to get a set of mounts that go on the bike and mount to a wall? Currently I have them sitting on a towel on the floor but due to limited space when the car is in the garage I have to move them when I want to use the car. Dont want them on the floor up front so I dont crush them.

I normally don't have my bags off, except when washing or working on the bike. I know its only a matter of time before they get damaged or dinged up having to lay them on a towel. To kill some time this winter I put this rack together(for $28) to have a solid, off the ground place to hang the bags when I do have them off. The rack will also make it easy to wash and wax them.

From info learned on the switchback forum, I went to lowes and picked up 4 dresser drawer ***** and screwed them into my garage wall (measured appropriately) and hang them there. $4.00 and job done (cheaper than harley's option which is just pre-measured and hd branded same solution).
