Default Swingarm bag mount

A couple small changes, but thanks to WARG and his great idea I have mounted my bag for good. I am too impatient to look too long for something, so instead of diamond plate I used 1/8" by 2" flat aluminum stock that is readily available at any hardware store. I also put the flat stock inside the bag. Here's a couple of pics, I might take everything apart and paint someday but here it is for now.

There are lock nuts on the 1/4" bolts I used to hold the bag on to the flat stock. Lock washers on the 5/16 bolts that go through the bag into the coupling nuts, and lock-tite everywhere else.

do a search, tripwire did one like that. He just drilled the holes in the mounting plate a little lower which raises the mounting plate to clear the true duals. Same concept.
