Some have suggested using PVC pipe on the passenger footrest as saddle bag supports for softbags, didn't go so well for me. I fitted the bags in place and slid the pipes on and pushed down on top of the bags to set them in place. The saddle bags were fully loaded. Well, heard a crack and one of the tabs that hold the footpeg in place cracked off. I managed to find a new one on Ebay but still out $40 bucks. If you were to drop the bike with the saddlebags on I could see the tabs breaking off quite easily. The length of the pipe is just too long and puts too much leverage on the footpeg mount.
