Any suggestions for TBS saddlebag supports. I have soft luggage and I'm trying to find supports. Thanks.

I use a bungee cord. Hook it on the frame where the passenger peg is mounted, bring it over your turn signal and back down to the first attachment point. I use one just long enough to have a little tension in it without pulling too hard on the rear signals. As a bonus, there's nothing to un-bolt if I decide to run without my bags.

I use the bungee cord method as well, because I don't use the bags all the time.

I have soft Givi bags, which have quite a few D-rings, so I add a small black zip tie on each side for extra stability, just above the rear footpegs.
