- July 23, 2016, 16:34:08 PMQuote from: OR_Seedman on 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
Can anyone show me how these are mounted on a 800? Thanks in advance. TIA

- July 19, 2016, 18:17:51 PMHey...cool idea...I like that a lot better than the weird offset loops that came with the 1500 mount....they don't even sit at the correct angle if you do use them (at least from what I can see)....I did notice that the overall size of the back mount for the 1500 is a little shorter from top to bottom than the 800 mount.....so I guess a larger bag could sag inward at the bottom over time.....the cutting board back-plate is great idea!

A simple solution could be to use a plastic cutting boards behind the bags, like this: http://www.vulcangadgets.com/files/f20_bag_support.htmlI 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....
You can even paint them so they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

- 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.

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
Jack
