Hi......I am about to have S3 mounts installed on my S2. Are there any "weak" points that should be beefed up on them prior to installing them??

Thanks.........ride safe, Jack

I haven't heard of any mount weakness, just the bags.

The parts that attach to your bike is just metal tubing - nothing weak.

The plastic on the inner bags will crack eventually if not already. Some layers of fiberglass and changing the bumper on the lower rear to a 4th mounting point will prevent and repair any damage.

Jack- I am running the s3 to s2 factory conversion rack and have had no issues after 2 years and thousands of miles. They do vibrate at idle like everything else.
