Abstract: A support bracket fits and properly supports the saddlebags of the HARLEY-DAVIDSON® HERITAGE SOFTAIL® leather saddlebags. The support bracket can be made from a solid steel material to provide bag-specific foundational support members in key areas while allowing the bag to function as originally designed. The support bracket utilized specially designed T-bar supports and an outer lid support rail to uniquely and positively reach up underneath the original and existing leather folds designed into every factory Heritage bag. The support bracket can install quickly, typically within 10 minutes or less. The support bracket requires no motorcycle or saddlebag alterations, no glues, and no product assembly. The support bracket utilizes T-bars at the front and rear ends thereof, along with an outside lid support rail to positively and solidly, yet discretely, contact with parts of the existing and unaltered saddlebag which are outside of view once the lid is closed.
