saddle bags for 2014 std ??

[Cormanus]

Like Randy B, I mostly rely on a top box. However, for some trips I use a pair of cheap saddlebags I bought in a sale. I no longer remember the brand.


They have a strap under the seat and I bought a generic frame to support them on the side of the bike. I think you can see it in the following picture.


I tie them on to make sure they don't flap around in the breeze. They come with waterproof covers, but I'm not sure how far I'd trust them so, when I use them on trips, I pack anything that needs to stay dry in roll top dry bags of the sort one might use canoeing.
