Speaking of saddlebags.

[William K Denton]

I like the OEM bags, too.  The backing plates for the dzus style fittings 
keep falling off, so I have to zip tie them in place when the bags are off. 
My only other issue with the OEM bags is that when you relocate the rear 
blinkers, the bracket that they mount to interferes with any and all 
attempts at removing two of the rear cowl mounting screws w/o first removing 
the stalks and the bracket.  The end result is that when you need to get at 
the battery you have to start by removing the license plate and working 
forward, which is a real pia 10 minute job.
