I'm trying to install some used leatherlyke bags but I'm having some problem. Could someone PLEASE help me out with instruction and or pictures. I know that it's not difficult but for some reason I can't get it to work right. Please help!!
how dare you awaken this mummified thread from JANUARY!!!!Jared, I just installed (11/19/08) LeatherLyke Cross Country Saddlebags on my 07 900 Classic (also silver) and have had some concern regarding the proximity of the backing plates and nuts being very close to the rear tire. I'd say there is about an inch + - clearance on each side of tire. I did use the washers to keep the plates vertical. Since you have had them on longer what is your experience and are they as colse as mine to the tire. Thanks Eric
