    Hardbag mounting?

    I picked up this set of hardbags from another member.





    Anybody know how it mounts and where all those goofy brackets go?

                  I don't think so. They came with a bike(s) he bought.

                    I don't suppose they have any sort of identification on them anywhere that would give you a clue as to their origin...

                    They look pretty 'wide' too; too wide for 'normal' fit on a XS, or most 'normal' bikes. I wonder if these were set up for a bike with a sidecar....

                      No markings on them at all. I have the SF sitting in the garage with the seat and tank off. I'll take them out there and see if I can make some sense of it all this weekend.

                          I had no luck getting enough ambition to screw with it. I went out and started moving things around to make room to work and gave up. I gotta pull everything out of the garage and regroup.

                          There's two parts bikes in there that still have the engines and I need to pull them so I can get the frames out of the way. motoman is gonna send me some pics of how his are mounted so I have something to start with.

                          Ain't no hurry anyway. I still got a lot of painting to do and I need to find a rack w/adjustable backrest to mount the trunk.
