they are 3/16th of an inch thick plus the powder coating..  the bent one is for the 1500 Drifter.  it accommodates the rear shock and is side specific.

If you look at the pictures for the 800 mounts, you can see 2 holes on the skinny section.  these bolt to the solo seat bracket on each side.  Since they don't have the bend that accommodates the shock on the 1500, they are interchangeable for either side.  I would suggest slightly longer bolts, though, as the bracket bolts are 30mm long and you should have at least a couple more mm in length for better bite on the threads due to the thickness of the metal mount.  I tested a swap with the upper rear fender/bumper mounting bolts (they are 34mm) before I dropped off the one template at the machine shop.  They worked great, but they are not chrome like the bracket bolts...they are stainless steel....I cannot find chrome flange bolts that are in the correct size (10x34mm or 10x35mm with  1.25 pitch), so I am just going to use the ones like I tested.  if anyone else has an idea on that, let me know..

Thanks,

TY Seedman. One more question. What thickness is the metal and are they just flat? One looks bent.

okay..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

Hey...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!

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....

They are needed to keep the lower parts of the bags from sagging onto the fenders over time.  A simple solution could be to use a plastic cutting boards behind the bags, like this: http://www.vulcangadgets.com/files/f20_bag_support.html

You can even paint them so they don't stick out like a sore thumb.

ok..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....

Unfortunately, I most likely will only be able to ship to the US and Canada.  cost to other countries is prohibitive....to Italy it will be close to $200 US plus the cost of the mounts....you could probably have them made locally for cheaper than that....

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

I 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.

I 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.
