Found the following website which sells hardbags and brackets for the following lightning models.
XB12/9S and XB12 low. Of course does not fit the TT or the long.

I talked to Richard in the parts department at Western Reserve Harley Davidson (440-974-6900), who has modified the Hepco-Becker kit for the Lightning Long models. The only parts that need to be modified are the left and right brackets that attach to the passenger footpeg bracket mounts. It's a 90 degree bracket with two holes and two zeus fittings, and if you cut that up the center and attach the rest of the mounts, you can re-weld the bracket to the correct distance and angle. I've ordered a set of the brackets, and I'll report back with pictures once I get them installed on my Super TT.

Anybody know if there is a system that doesn't mount to the cheese grater?

I put the H & B bags and mounts on my STT. I had to make a front mounting bracket is all. The seat rails are different between the the short and long Buells. I cut them for .206 Steel then formed them in a brake press. Next I cut the Cam-Loc plate off the H&B brackets and welded them on my brackets, last a bit of powder coat an I was done.

Mine are the ones on top, this was before I cut the factory ones and coated them.

Does anyone know of a rack for a top case? Something I can bolt my Givi-style mono key plate to. I've been thinking of making something myself, but would like to know what is out there...for a regular S, that is.
