After-Market Saddlebags

[Manfred]

You have put a lot of thought and work into this project. I hope it works well for you for many miles.
I've said it before but too bad these plastic cases are the NT weak point. Mechanically the bike could be great, but the plastics limit useful life for many.

This is my favorite bike. I can put up with a little ugly to keep it working.

Thanks for this write up. I rarely use the existing saddlebags on my NT, I'm afraid they'll pop open, or fall off, or who knows what. I do carry bungies with me to hold them shut, in case something breaks.

I know I listed my NT for sale, and another one was recently listed. It's not likely mine will sell, so maybe I keep riding it, and make hauling groceries a little easier with a modification like this?

Thanks again for all the detail.

I am happy with the modifications I made. Full confidence in the mounting brackets and side cases.
