Turns out the firebolt undertray is a little different from the 1125. But i'm always looking for an excuse to buy extra tools... this time it was a MIG and an angle grinder This is my initial time welding aluminum, so it aint that pretty!
![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/673344.jpg) stock XBR mount compared to the 1125 bracket i'm fabricating. some 3/4 x 1/8" flat stock provides structural rigidity.
![](http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290431/673345.jpg) the bags sit a little low, had to get some longer velcro straps. I used the same geometry as the firebolt mount, not sure where I went wrong. but it works anyway, it'll do what i need it to do.

also had to make an improved license plate/frame bracket, as this is what connects the saddle bag mounting bracket to the frame.

bags look good on it. if youre not already doing so, try using helium when welding with aluminium. i usually just pick up a five gallon party balloon jug at walmart. |
