    Bags Question.

    Does anyone know if any of the ready-made bag brackets will fit on a 79 750L? I am looking to put some fairly large bags on mine but I don't want them to get caught in the shocks or wheel.

    This is going to be a hard find. The 79L model was loaded with proprietary parts. I believe most of the dressed GS models for that year were not L's.

        I have to agree with Domino. I just received a set of Tourmaster Cortech saddlebags identical to his and they are very nice.

        The material is very thick.

        The zippers are heavy-duty with nice pulls that can be worked with gloves on.

        They have stiffeners all around to keep their shape.

        There are heat shields on the botom sides to protect from exhaust heat.

        The straps that go across the seat are wide and have a large amount of velcro so the distance between the bags can be easily and securely adjusted.

        The back of the bags and the bottom of the straps are covered with neoprene to protect the bike's finish.

        Rain covers are included.

        I looked around and couldn't find them online anywhere for less than $135. I got lucky and found a brand new set on eBay for $109.95 plus $11.50 shipping. I've owned several sets of soft saddlebags over the years and these are easily the nicest and most well designed.
