Do my saddle bags look right?

[kgc1911]

What am I doing wrong? They stay on the bike no problem but they look kinda weird? Is it just me? I can't quite put my finger on it but it's either ugly or hanging too low or something... :dontknow:

There just isn't any lateral support to keep them from flopping inward at the base. The Bags Connections ones I have from twisted throttle include a bracket that hold them in place laterally.

Saddle Bag supports

Check out this post. I am making a set as my new Cortech Super 2 bags hang in too. This is an excellent design and will not cost you big bucks.

I just added a '10 FZ1 to the stable last week and have the same problem with my Nelson Riggs and even somewhat worse because my grab bars are thicker and angled out.

Thanks Vagabond for the awesome mod tip/instructions for getting the saddlebags to sit right!!

I have those same bags. I love them. They are wearing a bit where the front corner hits the grab rail, but they have done everything I've needed them to do. and in 30 seconds (or less) I have the bike looking like it never had any bags.
