Tear Drop Tool Box Mounted Sideways?
Tear Drop Tool Box Sideways mount?
Has anyone ever mounted one of these sideways as compared to how it is mounted in the picture?
(picture turning it 90* to the left)
Or know of a company that makes one?
I am asking this because I want to mount mine with RK saddlebags but they won't fit with this configuration.

Ya know I have been wondering the same thing. I have ordered 2 of them, 1 for each side then I got to thinking, "what about my bags'?? I have quick detach hard bags covered in leather and I don't know if I can use them now! I almost never use the bags but would hate to mount my tool boxes and not be able to use them at all! I guess I will wait for an answer to your question too.

Where's that pictures..lol In the zillions of pictures it seems I've recently seen online...I don't remember the exact bike it was, but they had done that. After seeing it I thought to myself dang, I never would have thought of that. lol As long as you have the mounting points or fab up a bracket I don't know why you couldn't.

Well, I already have a bar bag and to be honest, I did like the idea of a little more room without my qucik bags for smallers things like glass's and the likes. I was adding them for added chrome also. I know, another chrome *****, I'm guilty. Well after much thought I am still going to put on tool box's. I do not use my bags enough to not do it. If something pops up that I need my bags on there then I will pop off the tear drop box's and pop them on. Ya know, I am going to do brain storming and see if I can whip something up to make these 2 tear drop box's quick attach/detach. I have a buddy that a metal faber and has the welding equipment. I will keep people posted but it's not going to happen anytime soon. When and if it does happen I will post up some pics.

Unfortunately they are all set up for the stock position except for the Dyna type but it shows no picture of the bracket for the Dyna.
I looked on the JP Cycles website and they have some older 50's style brackets that I might use as a starting point for a custom bracket.
Like I said earlier, I would rather find one already made than having to fab one. So far it looks like I'm going to have to fabricate one myself.
