He has saddlebag supports that are worth looking at.

 

Someone mentioned to me that with the rear shock mounted the way it was, there really wasn't any need for the supports

 

I would say it depends on the size of the bags. Mine were 15" tall and when I rode 2 up they would catch on the bottom shock mount. This ripped a nice size hole in the bag. Tried to hang the bags higher but they didnt look right. Same thing happened to my brother. So both of us have a set of $180.00 saddlebags with duct tape covering the holes. We didnt think we would need supports as many were saying they had gone without and had no problems. So at least keep an eye on your bags for this potential problem.

 

Good info - thanks and sorry about havin holes in yer bags[:@]
