I have an older set of Tourmaster Select Saddlebags that I previously used on another bike. They are a bit faded, but in good working condition. They are well suited to my needs for commuting with easy (fast) opening main compartment and plenty of space. I tried them on the Scrambler, but they kept sagging in toward the rear wheel. That would get ugly pretty fast. So I looked up under the rear part of the seat and noticed 2 unused welded nuts. I bent a piece of aluminum ($4 at Home Depot) and drilled some holes and created a brace. I couldn't be happier with the results. This isn't a permanent solution as I would like some hard cases eventually, but haven't yet found any that I like. I think the profile and size of these bags is perfect for the Scrambler. What do you think?
These are the unused nuts on the Icon.
This is the Aluminum strip after bends and holes added.
