Hey Everyone!
I took your advice and bought the Easy Brackets, the Saddlemen Jumbo Drifter saddlebags.... PLUS, I've ordered the Sissy Bar with luggage rack. I recently installed Triumph's fly screen (the black one with chrome) and I LOVE it. I'm 5'9" and the screen diverts the head wind up over my helmet, so it doesn't feel like I'm doing weighted curls while rippin' down the highway at 80mph. Plus, it keeps MOST of the bugs out of my teeth when strollin' 'round town with a half helmet.
So... I want to personally thank Dinqua for the thorough information and personal advice.
Once I spend the entire weekend installing all of this stuff (I'm mechanically challenged--hey, I'm a pshycotherapist... my mind works differently!) I'll post photos. Once all this stuff is on, I'll probably buy the Biker's Friend... one for the pillion (XL or L) and a small one for the luggage rack. I'm a pack rat man!... what can I say?!? LOL
Ride safe...
