    The bags look great, but the seat cover has gotta go.

        Cool ! Its kinda got a European flair to it. Next youll be running her in the Isle of Man. Very functional. You can put your _ _ _ _ in there.

                Yeah I've always much preferred the angular/aerodynamic hard bags look to the squared off leather look. I don't know if I'd do it any time soon, but I'm definitely interested in HOW it's done, particularly give then shortage of GS specific hard bags

                    The bags I got are auctally off of a Yamaha of some sort and they are more square. I need to paint them and figure out some sort of mounting brackets.

                                The bags included the mounting hardhare. It wasn't perfect, but close. I hade to bolt on a piece of flatbar from the sig mounts to the mounting rails.

                                The tail rail was busted off. I'll need to fix that befor too long.






                                Bags are bolted to the rails.

                                            Thanks so much for those pictures.oks like the mount to the shocks would be hard to make.

                                                After getting my Guzzi with hard bags I would love to find some small hard bags for the Suzuki. I can't find any though.

                                                        I have no idea. They came with two chrome rails each side that are supposed to me guards or showy things. I didn't use them.
