Leather Saddle Bags & Muffler

[Don in E Texas]

I'll be getting some leather saddle bags and have a question about heat from the stock :spyder:muffler. The saddle bag clears the muffler, but I'm wondering if I should wrap the muffler, or attach something to the bottom of the bag? Doing a search, I did not find anything (but I'll keep looking)..What suggestioins might the group have?:chat:..

TIA

Not sure if you still have the stock muffler, but the muffler deflector does provide an air gap and some heat shielding.
