I know, it's been answered before but I can't put my finger on it. I bought a Triumph 1200 Explorer and I'd like to use the bags on the new bike. Thus I need to know who to get the mounts from.

Thanks

Bags are Hepco Becker, but I'm not sure the mounts are made by them.

When I was unbending mine from that idiot Corolla, and thinking how hard a Uly replacement would be (price and availability), I remember thinking I could probably fabricate a mount with a reasonable amount of work welding and bending.

Reepcheep...

I bent a rack in an unfortunate get-off, and found them readily available from HD. Paid about $60 and had it in about 10 days.

Definitely H&B. My old Gobi bags from my KTM 950 Adv would fit my Ulysses on the factory frames. I've never bothered, though as I don't have the frames. Makes them too wide in my opinion. Maybe I should sell the Gobis. I've had them nearly 10 years and they're unmarked as they've only done 2 big trips (England to Portugal return). Look miles better than the Buell bags as they're top loaders.
