I got Road river bags, similar to the ***** max bags.
and I forget the light, but it's an old school model A round light.
well i looked everywhere and could not find it... bacily what i did when i needed to run both bags is added an ext and just kicked it out from my rear axel bolt backso the plate was behind the bags,,, i just added in an ext to move the plate back... alot like darth did on his set up here... but just longer
being that my side mount plate is home made... all i did was add an ext on to my bracket that holds the plate... i made it out of Alum cause it is easy to cut in the band saw, and bent a small tab under my swing arm to keep it from lettng the plate swing down... i put shrink wrap on the tab so it did not scratch and added a small piece of flat rubber between the bracket and swing arm for the same... then just ran it back... for the wire when i did this (only used it once) i cut it and soldered in an ext... worked great went all the way to the NRO river in Missouri from chicago... the bracket actually helped to keept he bags away from the tire as well... win win... here is a rough diagram to see if it will help you... if you want i can make you one but it will nto be for a while, cause i have alot to finish up around the house... durring the winter i have no proble turning you out one of these suckers
