Are your bags throw over or mounted with easy brackets/hard mount. I'm just curious what works with the detach back rest & rack. I have an '05 custom with the quick detach and I'm not sure what bags will fit and if they can be mounted.

 

I am not sure, but I'm under the impression that having a detachable rack/sissy bar, complicates adding bolt on saddlebags. I got a pair of Willie & Max throw over Color Compact Slant bags. http://www.buywillieandmax.com/pd_sb900.cfmJust remove the seat, pop them on, and put the seat back. I use them as needed because I'm worried about rub damage to my rear fender. I will eventually put felt under the yoke to prevent that. They haveloop tabs on the bags and I use the bottom one with a strip of velcro (hook on one side and loop on the other from REI) to attach loosely to the bottom of my rear shocks. Holds well. Now I did notice some trouble putting on the detachable rack/sissy bar as the yoke covers the front mount and that's why I decided to keep the rack/sissy bar on all the time.

Here are a couple of pics. Notice the matching tour pack. I leave it on all the time and it holds a lot of stuff!

That looks awesome..........thanks for the additional pics..............I didn't mean for you to have to do all that in the cold& snow. I also seem to be finding out that the quick detach makes it difficult to hard mount bags and I only need them at certain times anyway. Thanks for the info.........and congrats on a great looking scoot.

 

Mortgage, easybrackets makes a mount for detachable backrest, the mounting studs are longer for the detachables sideplates

 

The new mods look great you will never stop if it ain't one thing it's another believe me!

 

The worse thing is... when you think you're done... then you start going in a different direction... I'm getting a shed full of used stock and aftermarket parts.. lol
