Yamaha saddle bags

[Flipper]

I picked up a set and need to mount them. I am debating where to rivet in the spools on the tunnel. For those of you that have done this and are happy with your result, would you please post a pic. Thanks.

Here is where I mounted mine.
Just drill out the old rivet and install the stud.
Also drilled 2 new holes in the rear just before the snow flap. Seems the tunnel is shorter than the Viper. Had to tighten the back straps to max, and they still fell out a few times on the last trip.
Everything tight now, cut the straps and used a torch to seal the ends.

Thanks.

That rivet is where I have the spools for my tunnel gear bag. I want to be able to run the saddle bags at the same time. When I test fit the saddle bags on my sled they seem to want the spool forward of that location to sit snug on the seat.

Ok keep me posted I might pick up the bags also for a trip in March
