Default Saddlebags for my 883 iron
I am looking for some saddlebags for my iron. I want something that I can take on and off. I am getting tired of wearing a backpack everytime I need to take something to work or on a short trip. Anyone have a suggestion? I dont want to spend a ton of money on them. If you have pics of your iron with bags please post. Thanks for your help.

Anyone ever find a set that would work. Im looking to get about the same thing. A small set that lay on either side of the seat might work as well. thanks for the help

Mine is the Canadian model, it comes with the regular Sporty rear fender/light. The side plate/signal combo is not allowed up here. But the bags would fit with the side plate.

Join XLForum.net and go to this link if you are interested in the Lick's Solobag.

http://xlforum.net/vbportal/forums/s...d.php?t=622342

They are having a "group buy" with a coupon code that gives $50.00 off the bag for forum members. They run group buys every year or so. So grab it when u can if its something you really want. I have been wanting to get one for a while but I haven't as there are other mods I wanna do 1st. Next up Rush Pipes with 1.75 baffles
