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

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!

Some like to rivet a metal plate on the bag underside, just in case.

Some models actually have one anyway.

Your call.

Pay more attention to how high the bags sit on the cross strap. Good ones are adjustable, so you don't get this issue.
