Forkbag question
Does anyone know how the forkbag for the Rocker attaches to the forks? Will it fit on a Nightrain? I just don't want to shell out $80.00 and find out I can't make it work.

I have one on my Rocker and it does not mount to the forks but I'm not sure it will work on your train or not. It has a bracket that mounts with a single bolt to the bottom of the lower triple tree. Then the bag has 2 bolts holding it to the bracket. The bag is molded to tuck up into the pocket below the trees and it has cut out that wrap around the forks. Its a tight fit and I believe both your forks and trees are different. I would look at one in person before making the buy.

The bag bolts onto the headlight mounting bolt.. Like red said it's made to fit around the forks on the rocker bit if you could live without it fitting like a glove I would thing it'll mount on your train.. On the other hand, I read something on here from a guy that mounted one on his FatBoy.. He hit a large bump and the forks compressed to the point where the bag dented his fender..

I have one... or had on my train... You can have it for $40 plus shipping...
this is it on my train with the oem trees, it uses the headlight bolt to mount... I put a raked front on my bike and it sits way to close to the fender. Mark
