Here ya go. I like it much better this way and will just use the bags for trips.
Easy...2 bolts inside and 2 bolts on each bracket.Interesting ... Was it difficult to take them off?
I use mine more than I thought I would, but I really like the looks without them and have bought a cargo net thing that will work for most of the things I need to pick up, like beer. That is the criteria. If I can carry beer home, then I am good.It does look nicer than I thought it would without the bags.
But I use my bags all the time so will likely leave them on. But good to see it this way.
Thanks.
I agree that they are a bit flimsier than I would like, but mine definitely don't rattle. I wonder if something is off with yours?I suspect Honda designed the bike without them and then threw them on at the last minute because the quality of the bags doesn't match the quality of the bike. I know I ***** about the bags a lot on here, but they shouldn't rattle and they should be as functional as the ones on the bike they replaced...ST1300.
Mine close tight and there is no rattling. A 1/2" seems like a big gap. Did you say anything to the dealer about it?The latches both rattle. when they are locked, you can still pull them up about 1/2" and unless I have the bags crammed full of stuff so there is tension on the latches, they rattle when I it bumps or cross railroad tracks, etc.
