Brackets?
Those look really nice. I have them on my wish list. I didn't really like the brackets they showed in the eBay ad. Can you tell me what you did and possibly post some pictures, or a link if there is another thread? Thanks and again they look good.

Mounts
I like the round tube Jim used, but fetermel's do not seem to have the bar crossing from bag to bag in the back. That is the main aspect of the included mounts I hate. Jim's is better, but it still there. I would love to hear or see of some possible ways to eliminate this bar.

I mounted mine without the bar crossing. I will take some pictures tomorrow of what I did.

Parts and tools?

Those look pretty good. Glad the paint worked out. Recently tried some ColorRite and it didn't match worth a damn.

1/2" round tube stock from Menards or Home Depot can buy it 3or 4 foot length's. I was able to mark my bend spots and clamp it in a vise and make all the bends by hand. The ends where the bolts go in, I threaded with a 7/16 tap. It took some trial and error but actually went well.

Here is some pictures on how I braced it verses brace from bag to bag.bags5.jpgbags1.JPGbags2.JPGbags4.jpgbike1.jpg I braced them at the same location that the GIVI bags are braced. By the passenger footrest.

Was that 1/2" Conduit pipe you used?
Thanks, David
