I know there's a lot of threads out here about saddlebags. But I have a different question. I don't know much about how they attach. I am looking at possibly getting the Willie and Max Standard Slants. I can't afford the easy brackets right now and I am wondering what other kind of bracket I can use. I see that W&M have a standard hard mount bracket, will that fit our bikes. Also, is 14"x12" too big for our bikes? I made a cardboard piece just to see how big they were and it looked like it would be hitting the shock. Again, just don't know enough about them.
