Great pics I had 2 sets of those saddlebags (black ) One set came off my 57 XL the other I found in a dumpster sold them at a swap meet in 75 for $100 ! What was I thinking Chopped the 57 XL in 76 but keep all the orig parts over the years and last month sold the horn/carb/ headlight/exhaust for $800 I bought the 57 in 75 for $600 What a time in life
