Default Saddle Bag Organizer

Hi,
I bought a Husky tool organizer that goes in a 5-Gallon bucket (@$15), cut it in half*, punched holes for the mounts inside my saddle bag. It holds plenty of stuff that usually finds its way to the bottom of the saddle bags.

*for instant karma, give the other half to a friend.

Cheers,
Rudy

Had to take a crack at the saddle bag organizer. picked up a bucket organizer from Lowes ($12) and went to work this afternoon..... here's the end result! Ended up with an organizer for each saddle bag, so basically $6 per side!
