    Saddlebags with a V&H street pipe?

    Has anyone mounted hard saddlebags on a bike with a V&H street megaphone? The kind where the muffler kinda points up a bit?

    I have always wanted a vintage set of hard bags for my bike. But, after looking at it I don't think I can mount them with my V&H pipe. It looks like the muffle will exit right into the right side bag.

    Anyone tried it?

      So, the bags were up high enough that the pipe wasn't blowing right into it?

        Yes and the leather can tolerate heat better that plastic hard case.
