Here's what I did, Used some cheap brackets, which are basically a metal rod between two washers and bent, and mounted them to my bike with existing hardware. Then lined the bags up and marked the back of the bags where the brackets were. Drilled some small holes in the bag on either side of the bracket marks and inserted zipties. lined the bags up on the brackets and ziptied them to the brackets. Then I cut the center strap completely off. My bags are hard-mounted, so they don't come off. Since I have had bags on my bob, I have never had a need to remove them. I got some great locking bags from ebay for 60 bucks. If you would like pictures, PM me.
You guys that have posted up your solos seat saddlebag pics, please get with T-Dub and show him how it's done! And they look good, a lot better than I imagined. I'm getting tired of feeding the vending machines to get a bottle of water to wet my whistle, I'll be following suit soon. Thanks for the ideas fellas!

The throw over bags works great, just be sure and use something to hold down the bottoms. They can catch the air and fly off the back,(know from experiance), if they arent tied down. Doesn't have to be much. Mouse pad is a good idea. Wish I would have had that all along, as my rear fender has kind of a dull haze where my bags have been laying.

Throwovers
Hi there. I am also in the search for throwovers for my 2011 Nightster. I don't want bags permanently. I am not a wrencher either, so please keep that in mind with this question. I have a solo seat. I understand by the responses, that I can still have a throwover under the seat. What I don't understand is where to tie the bags down on the "spring" or "coil". Can someone upload a close up pic on their's so I can see specifically where to do this if I buy. I haven't purchased yet because of not knowing... Thanks!
