Soft saddlebags have a tendency to droop when loaded. This drooping is enhanced by the limited room on the Magna's rear seat, along with the upsweeping of the rear exhaust. When the saddlebags droop, they hit the exhaust, and large holes can burn in the bags. Has this ever happened to you? Well it has happened to me. Here is one solution.

Dave M fabricated these 'Saddlebag Supports out of parts obtained in a hardware store.
