2020 Ryker Rally - Luggage Question(s)

I like the shad hard saddle bag and I'm surprised nobody has made a left side mount.

Hi Rick. What size and thickness of metal did you use for you saddle bag rack?

I used 3/16 cold roll steel plate. I cannot bend it by human strength, I tried after welding it together. Even though I had it all clamped up into place at its 90 degree angle, the heat from welding caused one of the side pieces to slightly go inwards. had to use two vises to get it back into its original 90 degree angle.

I like the shad hard saddle bag and I'm surprised nobody has made a left side mount.

I agree about the Shads, I have a set on my Kawasaki, they look great and hold up very well. I think the way they have the single side setup on the Ryker, well it looks like something fell off as you were going down the road. I also think it sits a little too low.

My 2020 Ryker 900 luggage setup: Max Mount, Lamonster Garage IPS rack with saddlebag standoffs, GIVI MonoKey universal plate, GIVI 52 liter MonoKey top case, 2 Nanuk 915 waterproof cases (with added latch locks). Interior volume of Nanuk 915 cases: (796 cu.in | 0.46 cu.ft | 13 L) Top case can be easily removed or exchanged with other Givi MonoKey luggage. Side cases are bolted on (see attached photo) and can be removed easily, but not as quickly as top case, by removing the 4 bolts on each case.

Very nice job, great looking setup. Love that Givi top case too.
