| Where can I get saddlebags for a Knuckle or 45 to siut?
I'm trying to find a set of (preferably old) leather saddle bags to suit my '38 Knuckle. I will mount them on the traditional chrome plated half moon plates, direct onto the rear fender. Due to the location of the tool box, the bags need to be fairly small - about 14" wide x 12" tall. W&W have some nice ones in stock, but quite pricy. Any ideas? I have posted a ''Wanted'' here: Swap Meet: Bring and Buy: For Sale/ Wanted: Thanks Adam Last edited by BaZaŽ; 08-08-2012 at 01:00 PM. |

I was told that you should change the bike to your own personal tastes. Anything that fits and you think will look good are the ones for the bike. Ebay and ask size questions are the cheapest routes. |

Many, many vendors offer vintage style bags. Dig around....

Good find, and Grizzly's are a good shop. I've seen far worse than that restored by a decent saddler.

Thanks everyone for your suggestions and particularly HarleyAlba for finding the old bags on E Bay. They may be a little too far gone as they are but as Kevskrivener suggests, will be a good basis for restoration. I have also found a relly nice pair of 45 Saddlebags http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290768038275? but a lot more money. Sorry for the delay in replying, but I have been in the Isle of Man on the old Knuckle for the Manx GP. Not too many people can say they have ridden the full TT mountain circuit on a '38 Kuncklehead! Cheers for the help |
