Default Saddlebags

Got some new saddlebags put on the Crossbones today. When my wife gets home next week I'll post some pictures. The guys at Harley said you can put ice and a six pack of beer in there; that true?!!

Congrats on the new bags. You will like them a whole lot more if you get some of the Bareback quick disconnects for them. Great for cleaning the bike or just cruising around town without bags on.

you can put molten metal in there also... Kidding, the secret is with proper preparation almost anything will work...

If the leather is raw inside I would put a water proof liner in there if I did that...

Cans only. Learned the hard way. Went to the liquor store, bought a 6 pack, seperated them between the 2 bags, rode 3 miles home, and a few busted open from the bumps I guess. Had to start drinking ASAP! I guess it wasn't too bad!
