Re: fixed my melting-saddlebag problem

I just want to say thank you for this post. I experience the same problem and found this thread. I actually printed out the picture you posted and took it to the hardware store. I picked up the metal aluminum sheets, on sale for 35 cents, some tin snips, and a rivet gun. I then saw in in the deck/fence section some small steel metal plates that were the perfect size. They were thicker and were perforated with small holes. I put the roofing sheets and snips back. Went home and made the sandwich, riveting it in place using four of the existing holes. Works perfect. The inside of the bag is still cool even after a long ride and when idling. Peace of cake.

Thanks again. :2tup:
