appreciate any recommendations on saddle bags for the Livewire

Me too, I'm especially interested in what folks are doing to keep the bags from swinging into the wheel, belt, or under the seat.

I don't think buying a saddlebag for a Livewire would be a great pick, there are many things you need to keep in mind before buying one like you will need to add a whole rack for Hard saddlebags or panners which will cost you too much, and if you will buy a throw over saddle then it will always wobble on high speed as there is nothing in Livewire to tie them to make them stable, so IMO you should buy a tail bag if really need you to increase your luggage capacity as Ben(Adventures on Zero) did in his video 10 Accessories for the Livewire (bags, handguards... but the tail bag he added is quite expensive if you wanna go with a cheaper option then you can go with this bag "Viking Small Black Street/Sportbike Tail Bag", I am it for a long time and am quite satisfied with the quality of this bag.

I'm using a Nelson-Rigg tailbag very similar to the Viking for commuting. On longer trip, I'm using a bigger Givi tailbag that is 35 liters. I have Kappa soft saddle bags but didn't try them yet.

I use coretech bags. Not huge capacity but enough and a backpack on the passenger when riding two-up. Made it through Europe like this and it was super chill.

Welcome to the forum @jkalmakoff! Those look like nice bags, are they easy to mount on the bike? How long have you had your LiveWire for?

I really don't understand why you have attach the bags to the rear light bar as it goes up and down!
You should attach them to the rear pegs and have a horizontal bar to keep them apart.

I needed water proof year round so went with Kriega US-30 Drypack . Works OK Doesn't feel super secure but good enough.

Those bags look great on the Livewire.
Did they fit as they should or were some modifications necessary so they mount properly?
