Maddghost,
Prolly wont find a cap nut that deep, but maybe you could find a spacer to drop on when the bags are off. Better yet, look for a bobbin shaped spacer that would hold a bungee cord.

 

Joe,
i have a set of Barebacks on mine. Funny thing is that what Maddghost is talking about is kinda like what the barebacks does. Interesting idea he has come up with!
i can take pics if you would like and email them to you, just let me know. i can not wait to see your ride with the bags on!!!!!

 

ME TOO! please post them up bud! thanks

 

Thanks Ratbob! that's what i'm thinking too I first thought of small washers bcause reg. 3/8 washers would be huge......something will come up ! I'm sure of it!!

 

First pic reg sissy QD hardware
second picQD hardware with 3/8's threads out
third pic hardware with bag on
Fourth pic acorn nuts holding bag on
Fifth pic unfortunate if only temporary gap with bags off
sixth pic in , next post all the tools and hardware / material used for one side!

 

the site only allows 5 pics per post Enjoy!! I'm going to put this in the under 50$ers thread! The gold colored plate is what I removed from the inside of the fender.

BTW the bags hang down straight plum solid as a rock.I used blue thread locker instead of lock wshers to save space..

 

I went with the easy brackets. Can put them on and off in seconds and they are lockable. Easy to install, only took about 45 mins from start to finish.

Here's a link to a previous thread.

Enjoy,

Christian

Joe - as long as your QD stuff matches up with your easy brackets, it's a pretty clean/easy system. My QD and easy brackets use different mounting posts and I'm still working and getting it all to work.

I tried to post this picture but it severely bloated the thread - hope this link works...

 

Joe why don't you hold a raffle to pay for the wedding so you can just go buy the rest of the FLHX you left Behind.

 

Just a thought, mabye something like this will work for you. Instead of the acorn nuts.
