- December 05, 2014, 07:25:30 AMQuote from: Drift1 on April 20, 2014, 20:02:22 PMExactly what I have except I can't find a seat rail anywhere. I've pinged singh but no response. If anyone knows where I can pick up a seat rail (and front fender rail), send me a message. ThanksOk so I did get the seat rail installed today with the rear rack . The strut from the rack does indeed fill the gap to bolt the rail to it . I'm not so sure I want the rack on all the time , in fact more so only when saddle bags are needed to attach to . I've seen other drifters with just the seat rail such as marsholldolls bike and many others . Are there other spacers out there to fill the gap or are these fabricated pieces ?Here's a picture with the rail and rack .

The "Y" strap (which has hook and loop) attaches to the D rings in the back of the bag (towards the seat) run that under the luggage rack toward the back of the bike and loop through the back of the rack, Then I use the adjustable straps and go from the back D rings to the front D rings running them under the luggage rack to secure the bag to rack. I'll try to take some pics to demonstrate (If there aren't any pics it didn't happen) Doesn't take long to remove or attach, I've been very pleased with the whole setup, My only flaw with the bag was the zipper to the main entry was a small nylon zipper that didn't hold up well, I took it to a local shoe repair who also does leather work and had him install a large metal zipper and now all is right in "Drifter Land"

Notes: Buckles are not configured for mounting the bag on a luggage rack only. The bag must be mounted to the sissy bar.How did you get away with mounting with no sissy bar?
I like the fact it has a rain cover included.
Mine is designed for the same kind of mounting, but I don't have no stinkin' "sissy bar" I got a couple of large plastic cutting boards from Wal-Mart, and cut them to make a mounting plate on the bottom and a floor inside...

- April 22, 2014, 00:03:33 AMThis is the one I bought from J&P Cycles. It is now on my Drifter, along with the saddlebags. It is a leather like material, I like everything about it except the fringes: they are poorly done, and really show that they are not leather. Makes the thunk look cheap; needs different fringes.

- April 21, 2014, 19:25:09 PMGB... Mine is made by Mustang... It's called a Sunsetter item # 13323 (studded) It comes with a rain cover, shoulder strap, Y strap, 2-adjustable straps w/hooks, 2-8" X 1" hook and loop straps. Don't know if they make it anymore or not. I bought mine at http://www.uniquecyclesupplies.net/ Give them a shout it's a small family run shop they'll know if and where you might be able to get one. Dennis Kirk carries them but they're out of stock. https://www.denniskirk.com/mustang/studded-sunsetter-bag.p508266.prd/508266.sku
Mustang carries them but they're a little higher http://www.mustangseats.com/product/13323/mustang-sunsetter-travel-bag-studded There's a few options to keep you busy... Good Luck GB, "Bake"

- April 21, 2014, 15:07:48 PMI have the DESPERADO trunk, but I put some extra studs in it..It's held up pretty well, considering I use it a lot for things like grocery shopping (stuffed it pretty full today). One of the twist latches failed, I emailed them and they sent me 2 new kits, complete to replace it.

- April 21, 2014, 11:48:06 AMI looked into that a bit last night. The only ones I can find that are leather-looking "trunk" style, are made by Saddlemen, and they're the "Drifter" (aptly named) and the "Desperado". Anybody know others available?? I can't see enough of Bake's to tell what it is. Troll has a really nice looking one,too, but I can't remember what it was....?

- April 21, 2014, 07:12:09 AMBake , your setup looks awsome , guess I'm going to have to hunt down a leather trunk or some type of storage bag for the rack . Thanks for the idea .....

- April 20, 2014, 21:44:15 PMI must admit... That does look better (IMO) with the trunk than the bags. I've got bags on mine, and I hate to take them off, just due to practicality. But if I had a small trunk on there, hey, that might work out nicely...
