Yeah, I'd love to see you come out with a Tour Pac re-locator bracket.
The HD and Kury stuff is priced like it's made of gold.
I'd never use the slide adjustable bracket, once I'd get it set where I'd want it, there it would stay.
Just something simple that would set the Pac back 1.5" to 2". Your products are well made and engineered. A simple bracket that came in at about half of the Kury's $250 would be great.

Just another idea, found these at the hardware store. Makes taking off the bags a cinch!

IF you leave your bags unlocked! As stated many times, if somebody wants them they will get them, but using U nuts and this stops them from being taken easily.

How have you secured your bags to keep them from being stolen?

The ***** and u-nuts are probably the quickest on and off set up.

Thanks for the suggestion. Will have to think about that one...

I also have the Brukus security screw for my seat and the Brukus Kickshoe. I love the Kickshoe idea. No more kickstand sinking into the turf!! (and it looks good too!)



Great pics of the bike and the KickShoe! Can I copy them?

Also, stopped by the Myrtle Beach H-D a couple of weeks ago. Trying to get our products in there... We're in LowCountry H-D.

And thanks for the good word on the KickShoe

Just had this incident in Charleston - "This very KickShoe on this very bike saved the day once again! Haus rides to work (works at the VA in Charleston) most everyday. They have just paved the employee parking lot. Something went wrong in the mix of the asphalt... couple that with the Charleston July heat and you have SINKING Bikes everywhere! The VA provided ground plates for the bike riders to use.... But Haus didn't need one! His was the only bike that was still in it's original position! Thanks Brukus... Yepper, we're secured!"

Thanks again for the good word!

Can Brukus' products be sold over the counter or mail order only. I'm in Michigan (Detroit area) and would like to see the "puck" before I purchase it.
