Re: The Adventures of Athena of Left Coast
Another TJ shot. Lots of riders in town.
And I REALLY want a KTM Adventure as a second (or third, or 7th....) bike... -x01660

Maybe? They don't fit properly because I don't have the mounting hardware. So I lifted the seat and made them work... I have a post in the wanted section for mounting hardware...
I also got them for $25.... LOVE Craigslist... :p

Re: The Adventures of Athena of Left Coast
I noticed that as well. But thought it might be to give a passenger more leg clearance as the bags sit a little high

You guys give me too much credit, lol. These saddlebags are the kind that connect in the middle and are tied together with straps. As I mentioned, I don't have the mounting hardware. That's why the bags are where they are. And in fact, you can't use the passenger footpegs at all. But I ride solo anyways. Yeah, I need to get the hardware so I can mount them farther back where they're supposed to be. Otherwise, I don't really mind or care, lol.
I've got a full toolkit in one of the bags; clutch cable, both throttle cables, 8mm-18mm box wrench set, 3mm-19mm socket set, various screwdrivers, allen wrenches, vice grips, pliers, etc. I can do most common repairs on the side of the road. All I have left to add is a monkey wrench to break the axle nut and I'll be set!
