Saddlebag Brackets

Gday,
Has anyone used universal saddlebag brackets with success on a 2000 model thunderbird. I have seen a few different brands and was looking at the TM brand (which I can buy locally in Australia ) which is basically the same as willie & max.
I am open to any suggestions and any other ideas.
Cheers

hey,

i have a link to a accessories builder that makes 3-1 exhaust for these triples. They also make a universal bracket for saddlebags.

Thunderbike Engineering

They are located in NZ, i think. Probably closer than USA, in any case!

I'm finding I really like Denny's suggestion of simply using rubber shock cords or bungee cords between the rear footpeg bracket and the rear turn signal stalk. Works amazingly well and keeps her bike's lines clean with the bags removed. Stash the cords in the bags when removed.
