Nelson Riggs Saddle bags

[gundoc_iowa]

I bought a set of nelson riggs saddle bags....and I have them on the bikd, and they don't look too bad. But I need to find a better looking way to mount them....any suggestions?? I am pretty sure the next decent day I have I will just try 3000 different things until I find something that satisfies me. But I figure more minds are better....

Brownie Riun '10 - Check out post #175 (page 3) which has some sport saddlebags mounted but they are the Cortech brand not Nelson -Rigg. It could possibly give you some ideas though.:confused2:

I have the older tourmaster sb-30 bags. You just throw em over the seat with the velcro straps attached and secure them with the included straps to the rear turn signals and passenger pegs. Fully loaded on my recent trip they did not budge at 90mph+ speeds. I also have a fairly large tourmaster sissybar bag and a tourmaster magnetic tankbag. None of the luggage moved at any speeds.

And like them for their build and features. I also have a Guardian cover and like it a lot. Their more-expensive line has a limited lifetime warranty. :clapping:

Oh, and to give my bike an Italian-Continental style flair related to Mondello del Lario (?), I have a Marsee Moto Guzzi magnetic tank bag which is seriously over-engineered! Just like this one:
