The backs on my XL Drifter Slants cracked on my last trip and I was planning on trying to fix them. I called Saddlemen, and they offered to replace them for free. So if anyone has issues, I think they were pretty good about it.
BUT, the reason they cracked is that I probably overloaded them. I was considering exchanging them for the regular, non-slanted Drifters but wasn't sure if they'd fit with the shock being in the way maybe. I'm using the supports for a Honda, can't think of the name of them, and I am fastening the bags to the supports and then bolting the support to the bike. Would anyone have XL Drifters on their bikes and know if they also fit the Amercia?
