Man, that's a cool mount. I really like this. Do you have a link to a ebay listing for this? Always liked the La Rosa bag, just not the mounting. If I could get my hands on a mount like this....problem solved, Thanks for sharing pics of this.

Go to Ebay.de and search for "Harley Davidson Sportster XL Schwingentaschenhalter".

You'll see several types, here's the same thing with a RH side mount as well...

Hey T, good to see you. Man, I had my own accident, got sick, marriage failed, etc. Lots of **** but all is getting better. Moving to Florida very soon. Hope Cvaria is ok, going to search for details.

unless I wasn’t seeing it well it looks like it frame mounts from buddy pegs not swing arm.
I like the looks but to low for me my “squatter “ ain’t what it used to be.
