I remember reading somewhere about not using the saddle bags without the top case rack installed because it will break something?? What am I missing?

I have removed the top case rack only, the cross bar underneath is still installed, because one of the 2 top bolts tore out of the tail bracket.

Can I continue to use the saddle bags as is while I get the tail grab bar repaired?

Thanks guys

Bruce

You got it backwards, you can't use the topcase rack without the sidecase rack. Sidecase alone is fine.

I wish I recorded video of the last time I tried just the topcase with no side racks. The back of the bike was flexing like a diving board going down the highway, and eventually sheared a bolt.

Froggy is correct.

Ever notice that you can buy Uly bags in either a configuration of 2 - sides only - or 3 - sides and top - but NOT in a configuration of 1 - top only?

The answer lies within, grasshoppah...

Sides with no top is fine.

Top with no sides, no good.

Top with no side CASES, but WITH the RACKS - also just fine. The support lies within the racks.

I thought someone from the factory stated that the top case rack must be used. I think this was back in 06 or 07. I had taken the top rack off, because I do not like the way it looks, but after that series of posts I ended up putting the top case rack back on.

I think you're remembering it around a corner. The posts were more likely something like "the top case rack canNOT be used withOUT the side case racks". Or something like that.

They can't require the top case rack be used with the side cases, they sell side cases by themselves with no top case!
