HELP! S40 Saddlebag brackets..Where in the rear?
06/02/08 at 10:04:59
Hi All, Ok so ive made the saddlebag brackets for the S40 following the guides in the tech ref section. Now following the guide in how to mount on my 07 S40... I cannot find a rear mount bolt to mount the bracket to. I see the middle bolt and was able to attach the bracket there but in the rear where in the pics it looks like right behind the turn signals...aint no bolt there...just a pin pushed through a rubber mount??? Help? am i on the right track or did i fall off the train??

Joy...Looks like the mounts moved...have a look at this... instead of back by the turn lamp looks like they moved them to the bolt on the bottom acorn nut...sheesh... guess Im gonna have to re create a template and redoo...unless y'all knowed someting I dont....
Which is very very likely...

Ohh no...scratch that idea too..the Official Boulevard Saddle bags (the little ones) do NOT fit moved forward like that...the seat will not even mount. ... sooo I guess the How to for the saddle bag brackets are right but the rear turn signals are in the way.... Need more beer now...

Ok so after jamming to some Quiet Riot
I have made a template i will use to make the brackets... It looks Thumperclone that I have to use the lower front side rail bolt on both sides and the middle bolt. I had some spare 5/16" wire from where they had delivered my sons atv some years back and used this stuff to secure it in the crate...Its good stuff...I wish i knew where to buy it at cause you can mold this stuff like a clay... almost a tin type alloy but cant be sure. ..

WOOOOT!! Its done, made the template, made the brackets from 5/16" steel from Lowes and mounted the Offical Suzuki Boulevard bags without havin to move the rear turn sig lights. (didnt want to fool with that yet)
The throw overs are secured to the brackets with some purple wire ties...bet thats gonna look neat from behind me.. But now its raining here in Ohio land .... sigh... I guess i now need to get a windshield for this thing...
