Hard Bags for '83 gs850gl

[moscins1]

Im sick of strapping things to the rack and having to bring a backpack with me everywhere I go. Anyone know where to obtain some hard bags for an 83 gs850gl or how to set up a mount so that the bike would accept some other bags?

i was given leather saddle bags that work rely well. if u use a leather punch and fold the strap over then tie it, it will fit under the seat. not to bad for the passengers comfort, just make sheer they are far away frum the pips.

You could always go the EBay route:

I have some Samsonite bags that you can have for the cost of shipping.

The two side brackets that actually mount the bags are there, but I do not have any other mounting hardware or the keys to remove the bags from their mounts.

I understand that both of those problems are somewhat easily fixed.
