New Luggage
Right after I purchased the Ryker in July, I fabbed up a bracket and I added some throw over saddlebags. Even though they were a little on the smallish side, and I couldn't lock them, they really worked well and served their purpose. Earlier this month, I ran across a nice deal on this set of lockable hard side luggage on sale for $169 on Amazon, and they came with a bunch of different mounting brackets, some of which I was able to use. They also come with rear lighting that I still have to hook up.
These side cases were larger and heavier, so needles to say, a new bracket was needed to mount them. After the bracket was grinded down and sanded, I painted it black, along with all the other hardware, nuts & bolts. I also removed the inserts on the outside of each case and painted them to match the liquid steel trim on the Rally. I managed to get them mounted high enough as to not cover up the rear wheel, and I dont have to bend over to access them. Here's a few pics.






My homemade bracket which I painted black.

Are those " Mutaza " brand ..... if so there were problems reported about the locking mechanism Failing ...... I drilled a hole on the inside of both bags, thru the mounting bracket. Then welded a nut to the bracket, so I can put a bolt to keep the bag from coming off..... A bit more of a Hassel to remove the bags .... but I won't EVER lose them ..... good luck .... Mike

WOW, that looks absolutely great, especially with those wheels of yours.

They're not Mutaza brand. But for that price, I'm sure they are some other Chinese brand. I posted a link above. The locks are working fine, but if they go bad its not much to replace them. I have a set of Shad side cases on my Kawasaki that cost more than triple the price of these. Honestly, they're not triple the quality.

Thanks all. The biggest problem was trying to figure out a way to mount them, while still allowing me to use the Linq accessory plate. Before I had decided to do saddlebags, I had invested in the Linq plate and two different Linq top cases which wasnt cheap. That bracket was the key.

you went from one great set up, to another great set up. Looks awesome! The new bracket also looks a lot more heavy duty than the previous version.
