Nelson-Riggs saddle bags - too big?

[rozbabbo1100_imp]

OK, I'll say it, those look honking large, and I did have one of a pair of Cortech bags get unraveled by contacting the shock area over time. Plus any weight and sag and you are real close to that exhaust.

Good luck, but that setup does not give me the warm fuzzies

I have also seen those oval or square "frames" that folks are putting under the hard bags as a way to mount them. Has anyone tried using those to keep soft bags away from moving parts? I was thinking about this last night. Might need to have someone customs make them. Might not be worth it for all the troubles...I only use the bags once a year haha

Jedd, you are totally right...nothing like the sound of nature to relax you at the end of a hectic day or racing, swap meets, and the occasional fermented beverage...or 6
