I bought a set of H&B journey bags, obviously they will not fit these racks. These racks came off a 2006 Uly with a set of JC Whitney Moped Rack trunk cases on each side. Does anyone know who made these racks? Are they GIVI or H&B or someone else?
thanks

that square tubing causes me to think they were made by Happy Trail.

Never seen them before (they're very different from anything Happy Trails makes). I'd say they are home-made.

they have a perfect powder coat and appear to be pro-made to me....the welds and how they fit.....they came off an '06 that was sitting at a dealer...I bought an '08 and got the racks and Whitney trunks mounted as side bags....I really thought the racks were factory sooo, I bought a set of H&B bags that...don't fit

They look like the Happy Trail rack I have.

Huh! Must be an older style? The Happy Trails I've seen look more like this:


But hey, if you've got them, then you win!

I talked with Happy Trails and sent a photo to them. They say none of their Ulysses racks had such a small hoop. I have bought a set of H&B Buell bags thinking I'd just use the factory bag. The set of racks I have came off a 2006 model setting on the dealers floor. I bought a 2008 they had and got the racks and the bags off the '06. The bags I got are top case/trunks made for scooters and sold by Whitney's. I wanted to replace them with something that wouldn't break the first time the bike fell over...The racks aren't factory either.....so I have a set of factory bags that won't fit my racks. I was thinking maybe, if I knew, what brand they were I could swap them for factory OE racks...and use my new bags...
