    samsonite bags

    Anyone know if a samsonite luggage rack made for the Yamaha's, XS etc..can be made to fit our bikes? wanting to put it onto an 80 1000. I can see the upper rear mounts are in a different spot but most things can be rigged some how. I'm wondering if the actual frame will fit over our seats and rear fenders ect...

    Samsonite Frame

    Rob, I have a complete Samsonite setup for my 850. I can take some measurements if you would like. I would think the one for a Yam 650 would be to small.

        Thanks guys. The rack I'm looking at is from a Yamaha XS1100. I've got detailed photos of the rack system and Cliffs Samsonite rack on his bike. The upper rear mounting holes are at a different angle but they look almost in the same spot on the rack. The side bags look like they will be farther back by a few inches than the GS rack system but hopefully that isn't a problem. In the photos the guts of the rack systems look identical so I'm hoping the width is as well. Was hoping someone had experience putting a Yamaha setup onto a GS. Thanks for the heads up with michaelj_444 I'll see what he has.
