These bigger bags are exactly what I needed. Soo much more room for all my crap! Whatever bags you get these mounts should be a great solution. Universal Saddlebag Mounts: www.ebay.com/i... XMT MOTO Saddlebags: www.amazon.com...

Might want to add a nice size washer between the bolthead and bag so it spreads the pressure out so it doesn't want to crack the bag. Good vid bud!

Yea, i seen that while putting them back on. I'm still debating installing the liners.

I have the same bags but using the Harley brackets
@freefree20219 ай бұрын
I tried that too but they would not flow through the bottom of the bag properly and then none of the holes lined up.

Where'd you get those brackets? I wonder if those will fit my Suzuki Boulevard C90T?
@freefree2021Ай бұрын
really just depends on how the side fender covers are, I found that they will fit just about any bike. Some have weird angles on the side fenders but for the most part they should work.

I'm guessing that the steel bar stock is 1" X 1/4" X length? I made a set out of aluminum stock with back bracing for a set of heritage saddlebags. Did you use locktite in the bolt holes?
@freefree20218 ай бұрын
Yes, 1 1/4, you don't need Loctite for the bolts, the brackets are threaded so once you tighten them and put the bolt on them backing up only makes them tighter because of the opposing thread directions. Still gives a bit of wiggle so my last resort is likely get the harley brackets and pay a welder to shape them to fit my bike.

Wondering if this would work for my Vulcan 900?
@freefree20216 ай бұрын
If the fender brackets are along the side of the fendor similar to mine it should work, However, they are a bit tall above the bolt hole and I have the backrest so I had to grind the tops down so they would clear/sit in the correct position.

Wad up brother. I finally got mine on...... but..... my bike is lowered and my custom fender sits lower as well . So with everything lower my right side bag is only about 2 - 2.5 inches above the exhaust. Haven't been out for a test ride yet to see if it melts . What do you think, should I be worried????
@freefree20213 ай бұрын
No worries at all, Jeffs road glide sits about an inch or less from his bags, and no melting. Mine are like 4.5 inches away.

Would this apply to 1300 VTX models? Seems like the same setup across but it’s been awhile looking at them
@freefree20217 ай бұрын
Absolutely, i actually used these very mounts on my 1300, check out my video prepping from sturgis, same bolts and everything.

The clear LED taillight is from Ebay/Amazon and the turn signals are just aftermarket flowing LED turn signals from Ebay.
