  • Factory saddlebag bracket pics?

    I'm getting ready to mount a set of factory hard bags on my standard, but I don't have any mounting brackets. After looking at pics of the vetter brackets, I could see creating something similar, but I still have no idea what the original brackets looked like.

    Does anybody have pictures of the factory saddlebag brackets that you could share with me? Then I could decide if I want to fab up something similar or go with my own design.

    Better yet, if anybody can recommend an available source of brackets that works well on the standard, that would be great too.

    Thanks

    One style of factory bag brackets. I sold these and made my own brackets out of angle iron. I wanted the bare look with no crash bars.

      Fyi

      I hated those mounts 'cause of the need for so much wrenching just to get at the rear wheel. It adds a really long time in preperation for wheel removal.

        Interesting, never had hard cases and frame work off my Venturer to remove/replace back wheel since new, plus rear fender pivots up on Standards to remove wheel.
