Default Saddlebag Question For Night Train
I know Train's just dont look right with saddle bags and they are not touring bikes but; like most people, I dont have the money for a Train AND a Street Glide. (One day.....) But for now, when I travel, I have a pack for the sissy bar that works quite well, but I was wondering if anyone knows of a set of throw over saddlebags that dont have to have supports? (I know Kuryakyn makes some, but they are $$$$$$) Any thoughts or experience? I would like to essentially be able to throw the bags on, get to my destination and eaisly remove them with no trace of them ever being there and not break the bank. Thanks in advance!

I got a pair of Leatherworks bags and use Easybrackets on them. Lots of room, and they're quality bags.

Thanks Rthomp, I'll check in to them. (Nice Train btw)


Edit: Do you know if they will work with a detachable sissy bar?

When I go on a trip this is what my 05 standard looks like. Detachable saddlebags, detachable sissy bar-backrest-rack and windshield.

Yeah they will, you've just got to get the correct EasyBracket.

I have saddlemen bags with detachable EZ Brackets on mine. I have the detach backrest as well. Not a bad setup IMO and total cost was about 300 bucks. Thats both bags and brackets.

I've got Boss Bags (38's) on mine. They pop right off and work with detachable gear.
