    82 750t saddlebags and luggage rack advice

    Hi all,

    I'm prepping for a cross country trip this coming spring with two other buddies and I need some help outfitting my bike. I've been trying to find a luggage rack that will fit my bike and saddlebags. I think those should suffice. I was thinking about the Cortech super 2.0 saddlebags but i'm just worried about them fitting. The stock rear signal lights stick way out. If anyone has any advice or can point me in the right direction it would be fantastic.

    Thanks!

      Check out T bags throw overs and the soft trunk. Great and very durable. May need to make some very simple braces for them to rest against...little square frame that would bolt to the top shock mounts I had them for years and used them on my Shadow without problem...just didnt like to strap them thru a coil of the shock spring, thus the suggestion to fab up a little back support.

      NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.


      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.

          Bag options for a 750T

          Yes, the T-models signals are way forward compared to most bikes...




          So I relocated mine...(requires extensions to their leads)



          Never mind that the bags are on backwards..



          But Krausers are a better solution IMHO...
          Stars(?)...



          The smaller Starlets...



          Just my experience YMMV...

              One giant duffel bag with lots of bungees, set it length ways and you get a nice back rest for yourself. Cheap too lol. No joke, saw an out of state bike at the local bike shop one day. Dude was traveling the back roads and told me it was the best set up he ever had. Only reason he stopped was to get a new tire put on.

                  Yea I may very well end up doing something similar haha. Plus the load will be split between three of us so I can get a smaller duffel bag
