Phil,

Did you have the right post for your EZ Brackets? Mine came with the wrong ones (ones for no back rest) and would have had to been "forced" on, they sent me the differnt ones for the backrest and they fit like a glove, no forcing of them as they line up better.

Phil bought his EZbrackets before EZ took into account the "L" fender rail supports. Such is the price for being the first in line!

Now to the question at hand, The better saddlebags will each hold a 12 pack of beer. Saddleman bags will foot that bill and can transport a motorsickle batry as well. However, whatever bag you use with the EZbracket systems, you must ensure that the fender side of the saddlebag is RIGID. Either by purchasing a saddlebag that has a rigid fender side or by reinforcing the saddlebag you chose. Willie and Max bags are similar to the old 5 1/4" floppy disk. Operative word here is floppy. Saddleman bags have a brittle fender side backing. Saddlebags should be able to hold more than your rain gear. Triumph saddlebags don't. The triumph saddlebags would fit right in the San Fransisco lifestyle, feminate purses they are, as they hold about nothing.

The more weight you can hang low in saddlebags the better off your handling will be.
