Like what you did with the bags Steve but I would like to know if the bottom mounts are the only ones you are using or do you also have side mounts like the original would have been with out the grab rail and instead using the back trunk mount?
I did my bags in a similar way by modifying where (cutting) the bolt goes through the grab bar so it would fit with the bag mount. I had to manufacture a way to also hold them from just below the bag lid to the mount or they weren't sturdy.
Winnie looks just great, nice come back for her.

Thanks guys, it's nice to be out and about and even nicer to be able to easily carry some gear.

@Neil ... I did the two bottom mounts and one top mount tied to the grab bar with a plumber's strap.

If you are around Airplanes, that's an Adel clip and cost more than a plumber something.....

Lately, the Wife has begun referring to My Shop as "the barn" or "the stable."

.

I just can't abide by that.

.

No amount of verbal correction has proved effective thus far.

.

I decided to put it in the physical world.

.

So, I made a sign ...

.

... and hung it at my end of the shop.

That should get the point across. shakehands
