I want your advice…
I wish to install compact slanted saddle bags ( 12”X9.5”X5.5”) onto my 2007 sportster 883.
Most of the pictures I’ve seen of saddlebags on HD sportsters are showing the saddlebag covering the shocks.
I think it would look better to set slightly behind the shock. In the attached picture I have created a white polygon box representing the location that I think it would look best in.
With the saddle bag brackets I believe this would keep them away from the wheels, belts, exhaust, etc while maintaining the slim look I love so much about the sportster.
One potential problem I see with the throw over saddlebags is I would have to cut a slit into the yoke for the turn signal lights to poke though
What do you think?
