Default Swing Arm Bag Mount

I am not sure if anyone on here is looking for the same thing or not but I have been wanting a mount for a swing arm bag. Since I am having fun over here with my "friends" and will only have about 10 days with my new ride when I go home after it is delivered, I won't have time to try and make one (or the skills); I need to find a different route.

Sgt Jim found the link for me that is listed below. It is pricy ($79.95) but worth it to me (if it works as advertised) so I won't have to mount it with straps to the frame and let it rub, etc...I thought I would share.

If anyone has heard of this before or even better, used one, I would be interested in hearing about it. Thanks.

I have that very kit for sale right now. Bought it two weeks ago and just traded my Lo on a Road Glide. $65 shipped its yours. I did shorten all three bolts and spacers 1/4 inch to bring it closer in. also have 3 stock length spacers. Pm me for details.

Just put the Vance and Hines twin slash slip ons yesterday, man what a pia to get those nuts on to the screws! Why wouldn't they just put threaded holes like the OEM? But wow the sound is so worth it. Now it sounds like a Harley instead of a Toyota. Now I gotta go find a tiny open end ratchet to tighten these nuts a little better.

Hey all! Just joined the forum and just got my 2012 Lo this past Friday. I had a Sporty before that. Been too busy riding to get a pic of it myself but I still have the one from the ad I got it from. It has SE cams and adjustable pushrods. When I get on the throttle it makes me giggle

Yeah I wanted something that looked like an old hot rod. They didn't have any Denim black but they had the White. I kinda like the white better than the black after I have had it for the last few days.

Nice Lo man. I believe when I put my deluxe fender on the front and stretch the rear I'll have mine painted white.
