Saddlebags?

Hello, I'm curious to see what kind of saddlebags people use on their nortons. I have a 1971 commando and jump between my Corbin Smuggler seat and the stock one. I have upswept peashooters. Any advice would help and pictures are a plus!!

I used some Bike Master's (el Cheapo) made for sportbikes, tapered to clear the upswept exhaust. Similar here: http://www.motorcyclecloseouts.com/extr ... ddle+bags+

Old fashion leather River Road bags.

I got the smaller River Road bags, but they look much like Jerry's. I slung them under the seat and made a pair of support stays out of 1/4" rod to stabilize the bags. I thought it was a trick setup and used them for a couple of trips I took back in 2009. One day the wife came out to the garage and said the bike looked like the Harley-Davidson one of our neighbors has.


I took them off that day

Now I use a black diamond messenger bag if I need to carry something.

Hepco Becker makes a rack and bags for a Commando. They are expensive but first class quality. I have them on a '10 Triumph T100 and am thinking about getting a rack for my Commando.
