    Question for Vetter saddlebag owners

    A thought crossed my mind this morning and I'd like to know if my idea is feasible. If you have a Vetter saddlebag you may be able to satisfy my curiosity. Here it is: Is it possible/feasible to make the saddlebags narrower by removing a section? The reason I ask is: I'd like to mount Vetter saddlebags on my 1100G but only if I can modify them so they don't stick out as far. I know reducing the size = reducing the capacity. I'm willing to accept the reduced capacity in the interest of looks.
    Thanks for you help,
    Willie
    Common sense has become so uncommon that I consider it a super power.


    Present Stable includes:
    '74 GT750 Resto-mod I've owned since '79
    '83 GS1100E (The best E I've ever enjoyed, Joe Nardy's former bike)
    '82 GS1100G Resto project

    It would NOT be Practical. I will agree they stick out too far. The top box is big too. it will not fit two helmets. Go figure.. Otherwise look for some Bates bags or samsonite bags

      Funny you should mention the Samsonite units as I mentioned them to a good buddy of mine earlier today. Practical and relatively slim-line. My only complaint with them is that they look like a pr of suitcases and Id prefer something more stylish.

        I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.
