Hard Saddlebags..
« on: May 21, 2014, 09:50:14 AM »
I just picked them up from Ebay :) Does anyone know what is the manufacture of these saddlebags? Also, can anyone provide information on mounting brackets? Any advice or comment is much appreciated.

Thank you!
Tony

Not sure, maybe a fancy Bates bag? They look cool for sure.

LOL fancy Bates. I believe they are by Bates as well. There are NOS Bates mounting kits for CB750 on Ebay. I don't know if they would work.

Sweet bags.

Making a set of mounts shouldn't be hard. The Bates bags on my Goldwing didn't use anything elaborate.

Nice, if you're doing bodywork a set of 39 ford taillights or 41willys/Indian taillights would really be cool. I like 'em as is.
