| Posted : 27 Jun 2010 - 20:45 Post title : Saddlemen Desperado Teardrop Saddlebags | | Hi,
I fitted a set of Saddlemen's Desperado Teardrop Saddlebags, with shock cutout, onto my TBird
Link using EasyBrackets from Fast Eddy:
Link The shock cutouts let you get the bags close to the side of the bike, no need to move indicators:
and look pretty good IMHO:
Carrying capacity is useful, certainly enough to get the job done:
You can see there's enough room left over for a change of underwear, t-shirt etc. Other side carries ice and beer.
Bags seem well made, I'll report if there are any long-term problems. Easy Brackets lived up to their name. Both are highly recommended.

When you find a good bottle of bourbon in that starboard bag, give me a call.

I wanted to get studs on my old Kawasaki but my wife said one stud on the bike was enough! Those bags do look good though.
