Default Made my own bracket for swingarm bag.

I made my own bracket for my swingarm bag out of an old plate used for winterizing my pool skimmer.

I cut the plate to the shape I wanted.


Wheeled and polished the plate to give it a better look.


Measured everything up so the mount and bag angle would be how I wanted it.
Then drilled the bag.....


I used 3/4" chrome spacers to mount it to the frame.



All done

Looks odd so far forward but good job on the plate.

Looks good. That will hold it much better than straps.

Thanks guys. The bolts that go through the bag/plate to the frame are 3/8" 16 thread, one was for the seat and one was for the passenger peg. Then I used 2-1/4 20 to bolt the other side of the bag to the plate. I used big fender washers on all 4 bolts on the inside of the bag.
