When I purchased my Classic two years ago I set aside $$'s for catalog drooling and bought the detachable leather saddlebags.
Well, yes, they are detachable but in a primordial, theft deterrent, sort of way. I find the leather attachment straps frustrating to get at to attach to, or remove from, the bike. As a theft deterrent I don't think anyone would want to steal them anyway, once they saw how they attached. More likely they would go for the contents...
Has anyone who has these bags, devised a simpler, neater method of attachment to the rear fender frame of a Classic?
