The American Sport Bike folks sent me to this thread: http://www.badweatherbikers.com/buell/messages/290 431/341803.html Does anyone else have these bags? How did you install them? Do you have pictures? I'm hoping BaggerMike can help me, but if not.... | ||

Haven't heard from Baggermike in a few years, I'd like to hear how he's doing. Never met him, but we e-mailed and talked on the phone a few times, good guy. He gave up on trying to get his 1125R where he wanted it, and sold it. One of the guys here has his bike. From the pix tho, looks like Mike bolted the side cases directly to the bodywork, the tailbag is surely screwed to a passenger seat pan. I picked up a cheap pair of panniers for my 1125R but gave them to my brother for his Firebolt. They hung with straps and worked very well; easy on, easy off. There are a couple of recent threads about hard cases with several good ideas. Easiest way is bolt a box to a spare passenger seat pan. I did that a month or so ago, although the box I used is kinda huge... I grabbed what was handy in the garage at the time. More complex or side case mounting requires welding/fabricating resources.

He got back to me. He bought a new rear seat, ripped the padding out, and bolted them down to it. I'll give it a whirl, or at least a variation of that. My goal is to have the bags on with a passenger. |
