- April 21, 2016, 22:55:15 PMActually, that's kinda what I'm aiming for. A buddy of mine's family owns a huge machine shop business and he said he can form these from stainless steel or laser cut them. We talked about making removable luggage racks for them and other things like seat rails. If enough people are interested we can make it happen! He's pretty excited about it. I made these with a torch and a grinding wheel, on the clock at work. too much work to mass produce this way. I work maintenance in a foundry so I have access to a few things. these are just a prototype, but they aren't turning out too bad!

What is this I hear you are going to start to mass produce these hard to find items and make money for your Wife's bike.....

- April 20, 2016, 21:24:30 PMBeen working on saddlebag brackets for a solo 800. This is the initial mock up. Still have a lot of grinding, cleaning, and fitting to do and they will be powder coated gloss black. Very sturdy, you can literally pick the bike up with these. They are designed to take the place of the original seat brackets. Standard bag u brackets will be mounted to them. I think they will work great! Made from 3/8 " steel.
