Saddle bags for VT 1100 Shadow

#1 Unread post by Bogey »

Hey guys,

I'm trying to find a pair of leather saddle bags for my 1994 Honday 1100 VT shadow...

The blinkers look like they'll be problematic for me? Or put on a pair of bags that size of a sandwich?? Does anyone have this bike, or know of bags that would fit well? There are SO many bags out there, and for the most part, I have to search via the internet because of location... :(

Anyone have a bag or size I should be looking at? ANY info would be much appreciated!

Thanks

The best and easiest way to buy saddlebags is to ride to the nearest shop, walk in and say, "I need saddlebags for my bike." If it's a good shop, they'll grab a bunch that might fit and take themout to hold up to and compare to your bike. You will find a set that fits this way for sure.
Of course I'm generalizing from a single example here, but everyone does that. At least I do.
