  I don't need to stiffeners as the bags are hard bags covered in leather. SilverSportster I will take some pictures so you can get a better idea of what I'm talking about. They are actually made for another manufacturer of bike but they also were a gift and they are big and they lock. I'm sure there is a way to minimize the vibration. Really need them for my long rides. OK...maybe not need, just want. You know how us women are.

  Replaced the cycle sound speakers with a fairing that came with a stereo. Replaced that stereo with a Kenwood and the 6"x9" speakers with kicker speakers and I'm more than good to go. High speeds not a problem. The only problem is it doesn't have progressive volume. Other than that it's great and good wind protection too. Oh yeah, went all yuppie and installed a cup/bottle holder too. What was I thinking not doing that??? Now through the desert (SoCal) I have my cool vest, tunes and a sippy cup. Life is good!

  I have a set of saddlebags that I want to put back on my bike but I can't seem to stabilize them so they don't vibrate.  I had them on my bike but because of the vibration it broke the easy bracket and the front half of the bag fell to the ground.  Luckily I had stopped for gas when it dropped or it could have been very bad.
  
  The back of the bags are not flat so attaching the easy brackets I did use the original brackets that came with it but that didn't work.  So in order to get them on the easy bracket I used washers but because they were not supported the weight pulled the front of the bag forward so the lid didn't fit properly.
  
  Any ideas for customizing?

  spazz64 go to a women's garage party at your local HD dealer. It has a lot of informative information such as the difference between "Barbie Bitchin" and "practical riding" apparel. (Those of us who ride have most likely found out the difference the hard way) Also for new lady riders how to pick up a bike to how to customize your ride. They give away raffle prizes and sometimes include a riders course. Not to mention you can meet fellow lady riders in different stages of experience you can talk with. I bought my Low Rider for my 50th birthday and have logged over 26,000 miles. Riding is my therapy.
