It seems I read somewhere that KG made a luggage rack for their slider backrest assembly. Is this true? Does anybody have a picture of one or on there bike (V65). I would like to see what it looks like. Thanks, Mike MOOT #281
I have a KG luggage setup on my 1984 VF500C. Box on the rack and removeable saddle bags mounted on side mounts. Would like to find a setup for my VF700C (even thought about moving them from one bike to the other). I do have some pictures of it and that I will send to you separate if you will provide your email address.
They have served me well, and now that I am riding the 700 mostly, I want the bags available.
They did make one for the V65 and have seen one recently on ebay.
I thought I had a picture of one but it was only the slider backrest.
Jeff, please contact me at aurox@aol.com concerning our discussion a week ago about repairs being done in Houston area.
Thanks,
Check out my photo album (http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/kdf9511/album?.dir=ae0c&.src=ph&store=&prodid=&.done=http%3a//photos.yahoo.com/ph//my_photos) for a set of pics of the KG rack and saddle bag instalation on a V45. Here (http://v65.freeshell.org/sabmag/KG.html) is a page with pics of the rack mounted on a V65. Also the mounting instructions and parts list for the Sabre. The Maggie is very close only the front mount is a little different.
I think that they will fit both your VF500 and your VF700. They look pretty universal. You might have to make some spacers.
I see you are in Houston. If you want to get together some time I ccould help you get them mounted. It only took me about 2 hrs to do them.
Nice to see the pics. That is the exact setup I have with the same bags currently on my VF500C. I have been looking them over closely and thinking about moving them over to my VF700C.
Now that I have seen the pictures I am even more convinced that that is what I should do.
Thanks for sharing.
