Side Bags

Yep. I fab'd an oil pressure gauge connection and cut a hole in the lower part of the dash and mounted the gauge there. The idiot light still works with it also. Nice to have. Gives me an idea of the "norm" operationally.

 They look to "out" to me also. Don't see how else the racks can go though.

Oh, and thanks for the compliment on the bike. Got it from orig. owner with 14K on it and all the BMW dealer service records. Lucky find on craig's list.

Hmmm. I mounted mine to the outside of the top shock Bolt. Maybe should move inside?

Ask somebody more knowlegable than me before you do unless you just want to try it.

Is the back attach point above the rear fender tight?

Thing is that if the bags get any tighter then they start to interfere with the turnsignals.... Hmmmm.  Better ask around.

The top mounts go to the back of the shocks. Pulled it all together nicely.

Good deal.  The two rear-most tabs should be pulled tightly against the tunnel on the subframe.
