Neat but I'd be worried about severing a limb with those metal cases on there. I'm liking the looks of the dirtbags scout panniers. Softbags w/frame and quickly detach from the bike.

with the way those would carry the weight, id be worried about snapping the sub frame.... it cant hold that much weight, and with the possible storage capicity, i could see over loading it easily... im with josh on the sharp metal edges....

You guys are fast. Thats my bike I was on my way over to post them here. I have been worried about the weight to, but so far so good. Also I only use them around town or on road trip without much narly riding, when I go out to hit the hard stuff I take them off. Glad you like.

Holy cow! Do you have to display a wide load banner with those?[sm=insomnia.gif]
My Fatboy with the saddle bags on isn't that wide. [sm=sigh.gif]
Okay, I'm crawling off in the corner and shutting my mouth. I shouldn't have said that. [:@]

Mounting: I just used 1/2" square stock to make U brackets that go over the rear rack. Bought it from a local hardware store then just cut and welded it. I use u-bolts to attach it to the rack. I was worried it would be weak but I was wrong. The thing is rock solid and empty wieght is about 8lbs. I think the whole set-up cost me about 25$ and works perfect.
