    Hardbag Mounting Points

    How different are the mounting points for a 78 to a '80 standard?

    Could I take the bracket from an '80 and mount it to my '78 without much for mods?

    In any moment of decision the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing.
