This sucks, I've managed to rub some of the paint off of my swingarm while using my leatherworks swingarm bag. I love the bag, and the look. So 2 questions,
1. I think someone out there has figured out a way to mount the swingarm bag utilizing the footpeg holes? I can't remember who it was or how he did it.
2. What is the best way to touch up the swingarm.....

 

I would be tempted to use a spray can of Rustoleum gloss black. I used it to touch up my sissy bar after I cut it to fit around the stock rear turn signals and it is not noticeable.

Another piece of advice I heard: to protect the paint in situations like this, wrap electrical tape around the place where the wear would occur.

 

use some 3M clearbra

 

sorry bout that, we all have done silly stupid things at times, now learn from errors and think a little more about next mod.

 

I just wrapped rubber strips round the swing arm and strapped to that works a treat.

 

I have a bracket that mounts the bag to the rear footpeg hole and to one of the strut bolts. I bouight the bag with the bracket already attached, but if you want some pics of it I would be glad to remove it and get some shots for you. Basically it is a thin piece of metal that is shaped like an L attached to the back of the bag via nuts and bolts. It bolts directly into the rear footpeg hole and then there is a small bracket that bolts to the bracket and attaches to the one of the strut bolts. It's a killer setup.

 

Thanks for all of the info, guys as always I knew I could count on you guys for help... anubisss I would love some pics when you get a chance.....

 

Heading out to put on some floor board extensions. I'll get pics while I am out there. Stay tuned.

 

Got some pics for you.

 

I use large velcro strips I got at Home Depot instead of the leather straps for mine.
