Phil72 Posted January 6, 2016 Share Posted January 6, 2016 Hi there nearly ready to buy some saddlebags for my dragstar 1100, 'just wondered what opinions are about the heat from the top exhaust, and gap or heat shield, any experiences ? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toutsuite Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 As long as the saddlebag doesn't touch the exhaust, airflow should keep it cool enough. Just don't get them too big and droopy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Some like to rivet a metal plate on the bag underside, just in case. Some models actually have one anyway. Your call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neversaydie Posted January 7, 2016 Share Posted January 7, 2016 Just make sure theres a gap when the bag is loaded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil72 Posted January 7, 2016 Author Share Posted January 7, 2016 Thanks for the info, will look at sizes very carefully to ensure there is sufficient gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ttaskmaster Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Pay more attention to how high the bags sit on the cross strap. Good ones are adjustable, so you don't get this issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
