Title: Hold your bag(s) up.
Post by: Earl Svorks on December 28, 2014, 11:00:53 PM
 We all agree sagging bags are no fun. I have built something a bit like Scooterbob
has shown us. This was a couple of seasons in development. It began simply to keep the soft throw over bags that I first used from fouling with the rear wheel. They were effective enough but, offered no support to the bottom of the bags. Wanting something
more than I had, I improved on the theme and finished off with what you see in the pix.
The whole frame can be installed or removed in a few minutes.The only change to the bike involved relocating the rear signals. I leave them like that, I think they look good there.(//) I have to thank the nice folks at the Safeway store for most of the
material used.(shhh!)

Do you have to put a coin in the slot to get the bags off? :lol:

Great design.  Your picts remind me of the Klickitat area in Washington State.   :good2:


I must point out however, that we may now have to carry our beer to the check out counter at Safeway 'because' somebody absconded with the shopping carts.  :shok:

Could you post some pics of the brackets on the bike and without the bags, so I can see the bolt up mounting points? Please and thank you :)

Hey Charlie, Yes I will put some pix up with a better view of mounting details.
(sorry for the delay, too much stuff, not enough time,)
Cheers

anyway. Good eye work !
  For Charlie BRM, here's some pix to shed some light on the bag frame mounts.
