Title: Nice hard bags Post by pgambr on 01/12/14 at 22:35:41 I came across this pic while looking at cycle trader. Does anyone know what kind these are and how they are attached? Thanks. |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by old_rider on 01/12/14 at 22:38:42 Looks like the chrome around is holding the bag, and is attached to the side rail. Looks kinda like these In white: http://www.ebay.com/itm/White-Hard-Saddle-Bags-Trunk-w-Lights-Mounted-Motorcycle-Touring-Cruiser-New-/161191810141?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2587c7d45d&vxp=mtr In black: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Motorcycle-Cruiser-Hard-Trunk-Saddle-Bags-Trunk-Luggage-w-Lights-Mounted-/380624893533?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item589f02f65d&vxp=mtr LOL, showed the wife the picture, she says order me some in black... so I did, I'll let you know.

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/13/14 at 08:48:20 Fitty BUX? Fo' REal? Dude, Im CHEAP, I built my "luggage". I used backpacks on the sides & a gym bag Id reinforced w/ 1/8th ply for the top, but for fifty lousy BUCKS?? Id be buyin those if they arent paper mache'. |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by William Pors on 01/13/14 at 09:01:40 Man... You can't build your own luggage. I wouldn't even think of trying that. I had enough saddle bags accidentally tear on me to know that it's not one of those things you can do yourself. |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by old_rider on 01/13/14 at 09:06:32 I will do a review when they get here. They have lights, so a wiring job will have to be done. They are 16" long, so moving the rear blinker job will have to be done. They stick back behind the rear seat pan area, so more than likely I will have to move the back luggage pack I "just" installed rearward by about 1-2 inches. And yes I realize cheap is cheap, but abs plastic is very durable if the mix is "just right'. We shall see.... Got to make the wife happy, she wants more storage, i'll give her more storage. :) |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by Pine on 01/13/14 at 09:50:55 The Yammy I bought came with a similar trunk. The hinges are just pinned into the plastics... so its a weak point and yup it broke there. |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/13/14 at 10:55:57 I never had a failure & I hauled full loads of groceries & various things. |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/13/14 at 11:18:02 Naah, sorry, Ive sold the bike & ditched the backpacks. I cut the seperators out, so it was just one big empty bag. I put D rings on the gym bag & sewed a 1/8th piece of ply to the bottom & glued one inside. It stuck out over the tail lite. Im really good with knots & carried parachute cord & secured it when it was loaded, even tho it was securely tied down to the seat in 2 places with the D rings. I also put a flap on the front that wrapped around the seat strap & velcro held it secure there, too. The side bags took some doing to hang them & keep them outta the spokes & allow the swingarm to keep them in place & not rip them. They, too, had inner liners I made to keep them straight, but I didnt sew them in, I woulda gone cross country with that setup & not been afraid it would fail, |

Seen that, told her so, but I have some hinge material and will probably replace the plastic there with a full across the front hinge. Or maybe knock it off, cut it flush and then put a hinge along a long side to make it more stable. |

The wire on mine had rusted through. I suspect that if one was to make sure that wire stays put then the hinges should last a reasonable time. Let that wire break and the hinges will take a beating and fail. The way its hinged, it will take a bit of doing to to change the how its hinged as the stock one is "jutted out" to give the lid clearance when open. Nothing that can be overcome, but its more that just cut off the old and replace with metal. |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by justin_o_guy2 on 01/13/14 at 12:36:22 Id remove the hinge & reinforce the area w/ fiberglass or rivet something in. Better to fix something before it goes to crap. A stitch in time saves 9.. |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by ALfromN.H. FSO on 01/14/14 at 03:03:35 you could always buy a pair of ammo cans for about $20 each at the army/navy store like I did a couple years ago. http://p1.bikepics.com/2012/05/06/bikepics-2396588-800.jpg |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by old_rider on 01/14/14 at 05:58:34 I live near a fighter base, was thinking of getting some 20mm ones for mine when I get it. For traveling purposes.... |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by GridMonkey on 01/14/14 at 22:08:46 I did the same thing, bought some ammo tins, painted them up a bit and attached mounts to them with rubber stoppers between. Got a little 200rnd 7.62 tin that im going to mount to the rear seat above the tail light for the tool box at some point. here it is before paint, just noticed i dont have any of it finished... http://gridmonkey.jigsy.com/files/images/bikeboxb4small.jpg There are some more pics of how i did it here.... http://gridmonkey.jigsy.com/motorcycle |

As far as mounting them, I used the same brackets that came with the Mutazu hard bags that I had bought earlier. I had to drill holes in the back of the boxes and attach them to the side rails. Took a little time to get them straight and even on both sides but not too bad. Here's the only pic I have of the mounting brackets. http://p1.bikepics.com/2012/09/17/bikepics-2456601-800.jpg |

Title: Re: Nice hard bags Post by Art Webb on 01/24/14 at 00:12:23 Nice work! the info "32rd 40mm" at least tells me what ones to buy if I want the same size :) wonder if they'd hold one of those long flat 12 pacs sodas are sold in nowadays? :D |
