Is it ok to ride my Road Glide Custom with only one saddlebag while i have the other
#24
So I was risking my back and my tires when i rode my 09 RG to the dealer with no saddle bag bag on the right, half a bag on the left and the entire front fairing held on with duct tape after I laid it down after hitting a huge a$$ patch of ice this past February? I understand drag co-efficient and I sure was putting it to the test, looked like a full up test pilot recovering after a mid air collision.

From an aerodynamics point of view, the coefficient of drag is going to make the bike pull VERY hard to the side of the bike that has the bag. Better to ride without any bags or don't ride at all until you get you other bag bike. Could cause some serious damage to steering system.
Hope this helps.

Anything over 276 mph will cause you to spin around so fast that you'll auger yourself into the ground. Keep it under 250 and you should be ok. Make sure you drive past your friends' houses with only the bag side showing or they'll talk about you. If you carry your lunch in the bag make sure you only use Lite Mayo on your sandwich.
