- July 18, 2016, 18:50:04 PMok..so here is an update...I have ordered a total of 5 sets for the 800 and 1 set for the 1500. They have told me about 2 weeks...I will post here as soon as they are done...as of right now, 3 sets are spoken for so that leaves 2 sets available for the 800 and one set available for the 1500. I am not having the cheap loop supports made for the 1500 that were being sold with it....they are not needed for attaching bags directly to the mounts....

Dooh! 
Oh well, guess I have to change my plans...

- July 18, 2016, 11:13:44 AMI would like a pair for ma-deuce (800), but first I'd like to know how much is the shipping fee to my country (Italy - zip code: 65015).
Are you able to fix it?
Thanx.

- July 15, 2016, 21:14:38 PMI too would like a set of the 800 mounts. Will you take a money order? Most people would rather not take a personal check and I understand why, but some are also hesitant to take a money order too. As soon as you know the shipping to 63116, I will send it.

- July 15, 2016, 18:16:23 PMI will set aside a pair for you allstateguy. I am not going to use paypal for sales on here....only on ebay because of the extra fees they charge..I am only making about $10.00 as set by selling them for $100 and I have to pay for all the units when they are made...
I will put the order in on Monday....they told me about 3 weeks (or maybe sooner). As soon as I have them in my possession, I will list them on the classifieds here and what the payment terms will be (most likely pre-paid by check with shipping UPS shipping costs added) I am planning on starting with 5 sets for the 800 and maybe 3 for the 1500. the 1500 mounts cost $12 more each piece due to the bend around the shock...
I am already a business owner (domestic and international grass seed sales), but I only sell to wholesale customers, not retail, so I am not really set up to take credit cards.

- July 15, 2016, 09:52:36 AMI'll take a pair of the 800 mounts from your first order. Do you expect to use PayPal? My zip is 85021.

- July 14, 2016, 21:39:13 PMokay..so I got 2 bids on making the Osprey type saddlebag mounts for both the 800 and the 1500. The 1500 has a bend in to to go around the shock...costs more to make. So before I plunk down $$$ to get some made, I would like to know if there is any interest in either or both. I can sell the 800 style on here only for $100 plus shipping and the 1500 style for $125 plus shipping. Shipping would be UPS ground from zip 97303. I am going to get an 800 set made for myself anyway...it will take about 3 weeks. they will be powder coated in black just like the originals. buyers to supply their own hardware.
If I make extra and put them on ebay, they will be marked for $150 and $185 respectively.....
Let me know if anyone wants a set at the Vulcan Drift Riders discount....I will be placing the shop order early next week (because I want mine asap), so I would like to do the extras at the same time...
Thanks

- July 09, 2016, 14:09:20 PMhello
I have 02 & 06 800 driter . 02 scootworks saddlebag brackets , 06 osprey brackets . Both work very well . But osprey
easy to remove 2 bolts left , 2 bolts right side brackets & bags are off your bike . just as easy to install . ( note )
bolts must be very tight . mounting bolt holes are slot . heavy bags can drop sometimes .
scootworks bracket has 5 bolts each side to remove bracket & bags & very hard to aline to install . both work and look
very nice. you have to tweek each to what you want to work for you . me I like ospray best . ospray brackets are heaver
steel than scootworks . anything I can help with contact me

- July 05, 2016, 19:30:02 PMSo...I thought I would update anyone who is interested that I have been communicating with Trall regarding bag mounts from Osprey. Since they no longer make them, I was able to order the right side 800 mount and the same right side mount for the 1500 from them (again thanks to Trall). I am going to take them over to a large fabricator near my work (I work with them quite a bit on custom ag research equipment) and get a price on making sets of each including powder-coating. I would like input from any interested parties as to what modifications, if any, you think would improve upon the current mounts....like maybe a 2 piece quick disconnect system (like the one on scootworks but without the massive amount of steel they use) or anything else...I will try to keep the costs down to a minimum, so keep that in mind on any ideas or mods.....
in the meantime...ride safe
