Greg, my Shoei's are very similar to your bags. Not quite the same but close enough to be brothers. I too am looking to see the correct way to mount em. they are a universal bag from what I know so far.

According to dpotter these were mounted on a MNS at one time so when I screw up the ambition I will go try and figure out how.
If I do I'll let you know Doug.

If you ever get motivation to pack all that crap up and head north on one of these 60-70 degree days Greg let me know a day ahead of time and I'll see what I can do for chow and beer. We might even be able to drag Ivan away from school and get your bags put on the bike.1980 XS11SG

Where am I supposed to carry all that *hit Richard?
Besides, Ivan is pissed at me. Don't know why.
Maybe one of us needs to rent him a hooker.

LMAO!!! They've lasted this long. and we aren't gentle creatures in my family. I've even got the 3rd matching one. so I can remove the trunk and the 3rd one quick locks to the rack. Not sure the purpose in this as the trunk is bigger. Maybe it was so when the folks went on long trips Dad only had to take one trip from the parking lot to the hotel room. If Mom filled up the trunk with stuff too he'd have to empty it.Originally posted by BA80 View PostI know just the Gorilla to test those Sampsonites.

I'm to cheap for the fancy stuff. Usually we just pick up what we can find and tie it togetherOriginally posted by natemoen View PostMy twine has always been white with a green stripe down it, gives it a touch more flair i feel! I've used wire and extension cords to tie down things before

Does this pic help in any way Nate. I purposely did it in a large format so you could see it better. I hope it works like I hope. Clicking on the photo should enlarge if not then go check out my album and see if it shows better there.
