Awesome thread! Thanks all that shared.

 

Less than $20.00 in parts!

2 Misalignment joints 5/16 * 24

Stainless Steel
2 jam nuts5/16*24
Couple of 5/16 * 24 * 1 socket head screws
Reused the Chrome Acorn nut off the shifter end for the front socket head screw

36 in length of cold rolled steel rod

took off the old shift rod to use as a guage, threaded one end, then marked and cut the rod so could thread the other end then installed . Maybe took 2hrs total that included the trip for parts and coffee.

 

Instead of buying new "flat" fender support brackets from HD just take a dremel to the old one and cut off the protruding ends meant for tucking in the turn signal wires. Its probably a good idea to move the turn signals to the fender at the same time. This will give you clearance as wide as the fender for free.
Good luck

 

I picked up some bags last year for trips.
But now that ive gone to a solo with and without the passenger pad.
As well as new paint i didnt want the bags on my rear fender paint.
I dont care what you use it still gets beaten up.
So i took my detach back rest apart.
Drilled holes in the side plates.
used two small carriage bolts (from the inside) and a brace inside to keep it from flappin in the wind.
Cut the throw over flaps completely off,drilled 2 holes in each bag and used a 3/8 teflon spacer 1.5 inch by 6.5 x 3/8 thick to keep the bag level with the detach bolts at the lowest point of contact from the sideplate.
Now when i get to where im goin i just pop my quick release and the bags with pack attached to the rack and bar come off in one shot .
Same as a quick release backrest .
Tomorrow ill post some pics in stages as i get ready to finish the job.
I need one more bolt.
Hope this helps someone..
