I carry a lot of crap with me..and i cant fit it all on the bike. I don't enjoy lugging around a 50lb backpack for the entire day either. I ended up finding some saddle bags on clearance at walmart for 30 bucks. For that price, i thought id try and make them work.
My concern is the exhaust and the bag..i don't want to melt the bag, or cook my lunch either. A friend suggested put some heat wrap on the pipe and possible shield it with some wood. Then i got the idea of using UHMW plastic, which is very hard and i have it for a skid plate on my rzr. I dont know how it would hold up to the heat.. Besides buying a cyclegear rack, id like to hear some other peoples comments.
Ideas? Opinions?
Heres what i came up with just messing around. This is the idea im going for.
