I’m far from a new rider, but joined this group just to thank you for the great pics and write-up on installing the Contour saddlebags. I guess I’m not huge on patience when it comes to putting together things w/o instructions and none were on the Fieldsheer website, as you wrote. I didn’t know where to put those two narrow pads (that go across the seat), so I left them in the bags for a day-trip, yesterday (Sunday) — my first time using them after receiving them on Friday. Also, I didn’t realize the loops at the rear go through each other and clip the rear of the bags together by passing under the rear fender. I attached them to the rear turn signals as with the front pair to the passenger peg hardware. You can see I really had some creatively incorrect technique going on here. lol!
Thanks for enlightening me. Now, after seeing the roll bag mounted on top of the saddlebags, I am sealing the deal and ordering it. I had forgotten that it expands. That’s all I’ll need on my Ducati 748. Go ahead, query out loud how I tie my shoes each morning . . . well, I have this 6-year old neighbor . . . just kidding! Thanks, again, Mate!
