Titusand referred to a company that makes custom brackets and bags for bikes but although their stuff might be really nice, the price is a bit salty ...

I'm thinking that it should be possible to bend some aluminum tubing to the right shape to bolt to the four washer-like support brackets that hang down under the rear frame extension. If the brackets could be made to flare outward to keep throw-over bags from hanging inward it would work for me. Shouldn't be too difficult to either modify brackets designed for another bike or use aluminum tubing to make them from scratch. Anybody tried this ???

Should be a pvc version and a simple bolt on fabbed cage style been done in the TKV in the seating section - under luggage? Both are there though.

You are right. These are simple fabrications. I'll post some pics. As for their idea, it is a very good one because they've managed to make a complete family of bags and racks available to a naked bike and sport bike riders.
