You answered alot of my questions also, Gib.

My Rocker C will be here in three weeks. I already ordered the bags and kit. I'll post pics when I get it. Also, the parts guy at the dealership was showing off your bracket. Lots of positive comments!

Good to hear Patrick. Make sure they get ahold of me if they need any brackets for other customers' bikes.

rocketman69, Did you install the bags on yourself? I ordered mine back in July from Kanes in Calagry when I got the bike, they finally came in at the end of Aug in an open box with all the parts loose and scattered at the bottom getting beat up....Needless to say I sent those ones back and the new bags are waiting for me when I get home. I have spoken to a few people at Kanes regarding the install and all recomend getting (paying) the shop to install them as they say they are rather tricky, whats your thoughts? Can you post a picture of your bike with the bags on? Want to see what they look like with the pipes your running (on a restricted server and cant get out to photobucket) thanks D

bags on a Rocker with V&H staggered shortshots. install them yourself - not tricky at all - 3 bolts on each side mount the bracket to your frame. Initial installation with reading instructions took about 1/2 hour.

I can email photos of the bags both off and on the bike. I am going to sell mine because they don't work with my new pipe (v&h big radius 2-1). The bags pop on and off in about 10 seconds, but the chrome structure remains on the bike. Found out a back pack holds about as much and is way cheaper.

Looks like you'll burn that bag with the pipes

That sucks. I never gave it any thought when I installed the 2-1. Was planning on the bags. How close are they to fitting?

The fwd mnt on the right side is almost tight to the pipe, which will not allow you to slide the bag on.
