M-95/Marauder and Saddlebags - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

Tim in TN · 09-04-2006, 06:38 PM

Friends, I bought a Corbin Dual Tour seat for my Marauder, the wfe loves it, and the current saddlebags don`t work with it. It seems the leather strap that wraps over the fender is too thick. I need to know who makes leather bags that use a bracket to install them to the bolts on the side of the fender to make a quick connect type set up. I`ve looked at only 1 site and no mention of Marauder 1600. Thought I`d just ask the helpfuls who hang out here. Thanks, Tim

I`d also like to know how to fix the double post???

old&slow, are you gonna try this? It is way up on the scale of difficulty. At least to me. What say you? I think it would be slick to have my rear fender back clean and putting the Corbin to use.

Hmm I like the Easybrackets but I'm not sure I like the bags.

old&slow · 09-08-2006, 04:30 PM

I was seriously considering it. But now I am seriously considering a different bike!
I think just about any bag can be made fit!

Tim in TN · 09-08-2006, 05:13 PM

Well don`t leave us hanging, tell, tell. What are you looking at?

**drgibson** · 09-08-2006, 06:51 PM

Yeah!

old&slow · 09-09-2006, 09:48 AM

Something thats more comfortable for 2 up.
Maybe a Nomad or a VN2000! Looking at the Yamaha 1900 as well. But it wont be till spring no matter what!
This guy has a nice Vulcan!

Can`t argue your point, those are some beauties.

Hi, I used Ghost Brackets for the mountings onto my own sissy bar setup. Not overly fond of the look of any bag on these bikes but the look is growing on me and it is so nice to finally be able to carry stuff. Good luck with whatever you decide to do.

Prolly good as it's gonna get(saddle bags) Idaho...nice work!

**drgibson** · 09-12-2006, 08:23 PM

The Nomad is on my list of next bikes. Idaho where did you get those Highway Pegs and can I get a closeup?

Those look very nice. Looks like they have good overlap for better protection from the weather also. I may have to put better quality bags on my Christmas list...lol.

I got these pegs used from a guy on the Kawasaki forum. I really like them. They are the Kuryakyn #7933 If you need more distance you could try the Longhorn mounts or I am sure there are other Kury options. I added extensions which do not show in these pics. The extensions are 2 1/2" and make it more comfortable and also keep my boots a safer distance from the exhaust.

**drgibson** · 09-12-2006, 09:02 PM

Thanks.

Oops, the extensions do show in the last pic.
