2004 800 drifter bag mounts (new kid on the block)

[OR Seedman]

I am currently out of stock on the 800 model saddlebag mounts.  More sets were ordered this week from the fabricator...5 sets order, 2 are pre-sold.  the remaining ones will be posted in the classifieds.  Pricing has gone up a little (rising steel costs and drastically rising shipping).  The remaining 800 mounts will be listed for $115 including shipping to the lower 48 states.  here are some reminder pictures

 Roger welcome........

Comparison between fuel mileage and final gearing...........let me think on that one because you might have something there, I'll get back after physio.......

It ain't "normal", because as you've already stated that solution will cause the bags to bounce a lot while riding.
There are different solutions for you, to apply saddlebags: you could try the brackets that OR_Seedman is sellin'.

I bought this last August with two sets of saddlebags and I'm wondering if it's normal to attach the bags to the swingarm so they bounce up and down with the wheel?

On another note, have any of you folks ever done a comparison between fuel mileage and final gearing?  Thanx!
