Ricardo - Nice job on the second video and thanks. That was the info I was looking for. The final installation stands off the side of the fender about 2 inches....about as close as you can get. Your installation looks good as does the bike. Again, appreciate the extra time to film and inform us all.

Ok, I did a real quick video with a pair of leather saddle bags mounted. As I mention in the video, my hard bags have arrived at my local dealers. I hope I'll have them mounted by the end of the week and I'll follow up that again with a new video  8)

I just uploaded this totally unedited...this ain't Hollywood anyway, right?  ;D

I'll try to have a follow-up video posted by tomorrow (thursday). I'll make sure to give you the measurements from the fender etc.

Ricardo - Thanks...standing by, but will let Ratman keep watching.

Gerhardberger - Do I have it right?....the fit to the fender is close because of all the attachments from one side and the bags don't look like they are hanging out away from the bike?

Yeah, I ordered from them (scootworks) one time...in early February....in July, after several bs stories and still no mounting brackets, I decided to make my own.

If anyone would like the pattern just message me your address and I will mail it to you.

Can't attest to their quality, but the customer service left an awful lot to be desired.........

I'll get back to you with some shots and details regarding mounting space etc. I've ordered some hard bags as well, but will make sure to take some shots of the current "regular" leather bags I have mounted.

Watch this space  8)

I use these mounts on my Drifter and they're fine!

Very nice...have been thinking about these myself.
Agree with Ratman - would like to see it with the bags mounted and how far or close the brackets are to the fender. It's just a view you did not provide in your video. My guess is the Scootworks set up gets the brackets closer to the fender because everything screws from one side without nuts on the inside (Is that right?)
I have a set of Traveleer mounting brackets that only come off the seat. They work well, but are straight with no offset and hang out a little farther from the fenders. Would like to have a closer fit. So just trying to confirm that the Scootworks brackets provide the closest fit.

  Very good and easy to understand. Now you just need to finish it with a bit about the bags mounting and what the final look is like. Oh nice parking spot you have too.
