Hi guys, has anyone come up with a system of putting feet or bumpers on the bottom of the bags to protect them when you remove them and sit them on the floor?? I just can’t bring myself to put those unprotected bags right on the concrete floor. I’ve done a search, but couldn’t find anything. There’s lots of self adhesive stuff out there...But will it take the heat from the exhaust?? Thanks for the help

simple solution

I have a simple solution. I carry micro fiber cloth, folded in the bottom of my saddle bag. I unfold them on the concrete, and put my bag on top of it. I have liners, but this would also keep stuff from rattling if you dont.

I have stretched bags so nothing would work like that for me since they dont stand upright on their own. We have a couple of sets of old hospital bed pads that we use in the garage. If its a side of the road type thing, theres always towels or something in the saddle bags.

I've been using a large piece of heavy cardboard,it's about 4' x 4'.I get them at work at the post office.If you have a P.O. that does mail processing,they'll have these stacked up for recycling out back somewhere.they come on pallets of magazines to protect the ones on top.

They're also very handy if you need to lay down on the ground under a vehicle.I keep several around.Obviously they wouldn't work when you're away from home,but very nice and free for home use,and fit into the back of an SUV or car with fold down seats.

When on the road just have to walk them into the room or nearest carpet, when home have auto fender covers:)

I have an old blanket in the garage which does a good job of giving me a place to set the saddlebags or the fairing whenever I need to remove them for service or cleaning.

Depending on size, they make training pads for puppies. Not only do they roll up small, for those of us with old leaky bike (I always mark my territory) they are very absorbent and will take up small oil spills. I never change oil without one under my container in case something spills. You can get them at Wal-Mart, petco, etc. They are padded so I also lay shiny stuff on them to keep from getting scratched.
