saddle bag support

[pdedse]

I've been lackadaisical about getting ready for a trip, and undecided which bike to take--the Kawasaki W800 or the CB1100.  After setting up the saddle bags and rear bag on the W, I found I was using too many straps to tie things down and the seating room was getting confined.  So back to the CB1100, and now I've waited too long to buy proper saddle back supports...so it's back to the wood.  

Hmmmm....


With the zipties, they are rock solid and they give me an easy to reach bar to use as a tie down to the D-clips on the saddle bags


And it looks like they'll keep the saddle bags away from the springs


That's two less walking-canes that I'll never make, but I think it might work ok.
