Planning to replace my old saddlebags and looked in the J&P cycles cataloque. Even went online and chatted with someone there. I find bags, but support  brackets seems rare to find for a duo glide. The only one I could find was one that didn`t allow for more that 7 pounds of weight..
These are the bags I thought looked OK  http://www.jpcycles.com/product/830-323?source=mybuys&green=6F31108F-2E0C-57D5-97D4-CC13B354918F#

And these were the only ones I found for a -59.

They state, loads less than 7 pounds, and I don` t quite see how they would attach properly.

Any other suggestion? Any other supliers? Any pictures of self made fittings?

Saw this one on eBay but don't know if it's good or bad. Or if they would fit properly:

I've got a sturdy set on the '61 but they were on it when I got it and have no idea of their origin. Could take a pic if it would help.

Thanks guys. Getting some good ideas here. My idea was to have the bags "easy on and easy off" kind of thing.
The ones that I found in the J&P cataloque supposedly was an easy on/off deal, but I have a hard time understanding
how they would fit from the pictures
Any pictures are always a good source for new ideas.
