Looks good. I have a '72 CB500 and am starting to plan for some "mods". I have to go back through your thread to see what paint and bars and such you went with. I had similar saddlebags on mine for the last few seasons. In order to keep them out of the rear shocks I split some PVC pipe in half lengthwise and used two big hose clamps to clamp them to the shock uppers, letting them extend down do cover the spring coils. Worked well, I put some self adhesive cushion stickers on them to keep the chrome from getting scratched. I also moved the stock rear blinkers to the licsence plate bracket (using two right angle brackets fabled from strap metal), had to build some extension wires to add to the harness, routed with the taillight wires but looked pretty good for what it was, have since put it all back to stock, for 2 days before I tore down the whole rear end in prep for some revisions.
