Can the Luggage Brackets be used with hard luggage?
Yes, if the three mounting points (holes) allow it. Some riders have build a hard luggage support that bolts to the three mounts and others have drilled the hard-bags to bolt directly to the Luggage Brackets. The Luggage Brackets are easily weldable if a permanent hard luggage support is desired. If heavy hard-bags are to be used, additional support should be provided. An adapter can be fabricated like the hard-bag modification below or any user design that provides vertical support. “Heavy” is a relative term but large hard-bags carrying a load in excess of 10 lbs can be considered heavy. However, loads vary in composition and how they affect road shock, e.g., 10 lbs of clothes will produce less shock than 10 lbs of steel. If you think your bags are heavy, provide support for them. MODIFICATIONS: Any modification will invalidate the warranty but, if necessary, accessories can be customized for individual needs. Welding is not recommended on grade 8 stainless unless you are very experi
