Default Using saddle bags with fender eliminator kits??

I really want to get a fender eliminator kit for my bike, but I use saddle bags on a daily basis and I'm wondering if you still can once all that plastic stuff is gone on the kits?

Thanks,

I tie the two back straps together and have them wrapped around the back fender. But once that fender is gone I'm gonna have to find another way to strap them on without having them come loose. I use to use the under hooks, but they always came undone.

How is your plate bolted on? I'd try using your passenger foot pegs as well as the passenger bar in the back.

I have my straps wrapped around the passenger pegs. Worked out fine the few times I've used them.

Thanks, that helps a great deal. I can hook the straps on that little section right underneath the license frame

I think you're best bet is to use the passenger footpegs. or worst case, go under the plate, and just pray it doesn't come undone. +1 for footpegs.
