| | Any suggestions regarding saddlebags? I have a 2002 1100 Spirit )> and I've been using a tail bag on the luggage rack, but now I want more room. I looked a little at the contemporary Leatherlykes, GIVI, and Saddleman Cruis'n slant and others. It looks like I may need to do a tail light relocation to fit anything of reasonable size....What are you other folks using for saddle bags? Thanks for the info. Sparrowhawk |

| I'm using the cruiser rigid mount saddlebags from Saddlemen. They come with a removable metal turn signal relocation bracket. Fit is good. Installation takes a bit but it's worth it.

| | My wife has the traditional bags from Leatherlyke. They work terrific. They are easy to detach, if desired. They can also be used as an ice chest. Great product. |

| I have the contempory Leatherlykes on my 02 Spirit 1100. Leatherlyke only makes the "cruiser" size for this bike. A little tedious to install but look fine once done. Taillights MUST be relocated to install these bags and Leatherlyke has the parts in their install kit. Be CAREFUL or you'll scratch the paint on the rear fender during install.

| I bought a pair of Willy & Max saddlebags and they work great. I did have to install the cobra saddlebag supports to get them to hang straight, the stock supports allowed the bottom of the bags to tilt in toward the wheel. More than happy to email you pics if you'd like.

| go with leatherlykes, I have been on my Honda Shadow VT1100 for 10 years--bags are lockable and very dependable.
