How to swap 84-86 saddlebags

Whereas I'm ditching MY saddlebags in leu of the larger ones because we never used the "removable" feture. My particular conversion is a bit more complicated because I have the aftermarket Ventureline rear bumper assembly so I have to do some minor hacking to the bottom rear of the bags to get them to clear. Also, I may have to become creative with the turn signals as the bag mounted ones will have to go with the mod. Should be done with it next summer...

Ok so I think I will keep my 84 bags now cuz I do like being able to take them off and now I know you can't with the 86 but I do like the extra space they have.

 

 

There you have hit on the quandry, if your into longer touring the larger bags on the 1300's are great. I had a problem with the saddlebags not staying closed on my '84 and I hated that. Of all the Ventures the 1st gen MkII bags are the best as far as space and being able to carry more goes
