I've got the Scootworks setup on my '06. Love it! 5 small, short bolts to mount each bag/bracket, I can put them on or take them off in about 5 min. I've got the single seat and got this system wanting to go with their backrest too. Haven't got it yet tho. I put on the Kawasaki jumbo bags (quarterround) cause they match the contour of the rear fender pretty well. Still like the looks of the bike better w/o bags, but it's sure nicer to be able to carry something once! Greg

The scootworks mounts attach to the frame but look kind of heavy. I think I will go with the seat mounts...Thanks for your input pcarrell.......by the way, what size are your bags?

I have the Fire & Steel mounts and they work great, both solo & 2up.  If the other mounts you're looking at mount to the fender, as the fender goes up and down, it'll shake your stuff up good.  Also, the fenders are plastic, so they won't take very much weight without cracking.  I suppose you could reinforce it, but your stuff still gets shaken to death.

Does anyone have the scootworks saddlebag mounting kit? If so how do you like it? I'm trying to decide weather to go with them or get the kawasaki ones that mount off the seat. Also when used with a two up seat does the passenger have enough leg room?..........Thanks
