Thought I would add my modification to the site:

I modified 1982 Goldwing bags and welded up a rack to mount them to.   Pictures below:

Rough fitting




Pictures of the Saddlebag mounting frame attached to FJ (6 bolts - 3 a side to remove)





Pictures of all plastic back on bike.




Now with bags on (4 bolts each bag to remove - nuts welded to the saddlebag frame for easy removal)


Completed

You did a good job. They look nice.

Be mindful that vibrations can crack welds and cause metal fatigue fractures.

I like the paint color, too.

Nice Job!  The bags look like they belong with the bike.  Thanks for posting the pictures.

Simplicity of character is the natural result of profound thought.

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

Looking good!  It took me a minute to notice that the stock turn signals had been filled in - looks good in that color!

Great solution, the end product is assume !  If I may ask, what year Goldwing did you use?

Gold Wing bags are on the way. I've been scoping out different OEM bags for a while now. I just can't find the time to make my own. I like the looks of these, thanks for breaking the ice. It looks like the fiberglass stuck to the plastic OK. It will be nice not having everything strapped to the back of the seat and rear cowl. I guaranty that your paint work will be better than mine.....
