I was routing around the area of the garage that I haven't cleaned ... I found these. A pair of Saddleman bags designed to be mounted on the saddlebag protectors of an Ultra type bag. I had cut the "ears" off and was trying to figure out how to mount these on the 08 Gold Wing trike I had ... never go to that project. Thinking now that they might make a great addition to the Fat Bottom Girl.

I also have a set of the Harley type ... these are much more water resistant since they have a zip up top, and the flap that has a turn type snap.
Now ... how do I mount them?
Option 1) I do have a snap kit that would allow me to add new snaps, one to the top flap and three to the bottom flaps. I don't have black snaps so I would change them all to chrome. I would drill 8 holes in each fender and put the male part of the snaps there.
Option 2) I could easily drill four holes in each fender and use bolts with fender washers on the inside of the bag.
Option 3) Seems to me there wes some kind of "film" that allowed mounting these type bags without it being "permanent".
I'm not sure what I'd put in them ... probably gloves and arm sleeves, maybe my wallet, when Harley goes, I could put his leash and some snacks ... since I removed the armrests from the passenger area, I don't have a spot to put the credit card anymore, so, getting gas means opening my tour pak ... LOL. I know ... pretty lazy ...
So what do you think ... am I crazy for putting these on the fat bottom girl? I also thought about mounting them on the little trailer ... but making holes in that would lead to leaks ... on the FBG it's just into the fender.
