Looking to add some saddlebags for touring / camping, however, I do not want to leave them on all the time.
Anyone have any thoughts on saddlebag supports that clear the shocks but don’t look out of place without the bags.

What about these (SW Motech)

Not the cheapest solution but look good IMO and are easy to install / remove

I have a set of Tour Master saddle bags which I got years ago from Dennis Kirk, I think. They are heavy canvas with zippers, go over the back part of the seat, adjustable with Velcro and  straps holds them on the seat rail. have an extra short bungie cord wrapped around the back handle grab on the seat. Come on and off in a minute, the bottoms are aluminized canvas to protect from heat and they clear the pipes. didn't want to add framework for any bags. They don't leak, weren't cheap 20 years ago, but they are just the ticket for the Interceptor.

Any cheapskate options?

Not too bad. I was going to say I'm not keen on the fake leather, but of course a lot of the premium stuff uses that too.

The beauty of these is they fit with the upswept pipes. That's why I got them but now my pipes don't sweep up. I switched to the AEW TE201s.

I like the SW Motech bags but they seem small.
I am getting the motoring exhausts so I will see how much deeper I can go with the bags.
I do not like saddle bags that just rest against the shocks. I prefer to have a frame for them to rest on.
As a last resort I might see if I can work with a friend to make my own stays. I will see. Thanks for the help everyone and ride safe.

I have those and they are pretty good! Not waterproof but I have liners incase (bin bags) and they hold my shopping when I'm on errands. They are not huge at and you can get a six pack in each side with some extras. I use the passenger pegs as rests and have zip tied the ring brackets they have to the frame and so far have been just perfect for my daily uses, dont flop around and stay put.

I have the RE bags and brackets. But I have a topcase too and a luggage roll. They are easy to remove.

Bend up some flat stock aluminum to fit / add scratch padding / fasten it to the saddle bags (not to the motorcycle).
They are now a drop on/off unit.

I would recommend you consider the Longride bags.  The bags are extremely easy to install and remove from the back and mounting rails are very discreet when the bags are off the bike.  You may find more info here: https://longride.com

I have attached two photos of my bike - one with the bags installed and one with the bags removed.

what about Hepco and Becker C Bow. I have them for my Bonneville T120, and soon my 650 Interceptor.

I have two types of C Bow panniers, they can be swapped from bike to bike.
