Author Message   Sids Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 05:12 am:        I have just purchased an 03 XB9S (due to pick up Saturday). I'm heading to the Isle of man TT in 2/3 weeks and need to take all my equipment over with me (tent, sleeping bag, etc..). I've have had a look around the internet but cant find a great deal on mounting boxes/panniers. I'm looking at using the soft panniers and box I already own and just making a mount on the back to hold it to the bike, has anyone got any measurements/ drawings or done this before? Without having the bike in front of me I'm a little stuck, id like to get a head start and have something before I pick the bike up. Any help would be much appreciated!   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 09:55 am:        Does it have the stock tail still on or is it chopped? I made a removable luggage rack from 8mm round stainless bar for my xb 12s And one from stainless pipe for my brothers 12s (removable to)   Nillaice Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 11:25 am:        http://www.ventura-bike.com/product/Buell/Lightnin g-XB9S   Sids Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 11:26 am:        Its a chopped tail. I don't suppose you did drawings? just measured straight off the bike? Have you got any pictures so I could get an idea of mounting points?   Sids Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 11:29 am:        Thanks Nillaice, that links great!   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 03:28 pm:        Sids ,i did no drawings ,just build it with the bike. But made some pics for you to get the idea. The first luggage rack is 45cm long and on the smallest position 36cm and on the widest almost 60cm the second rack is 25cm wide and 20cm long and sticks 28cm behind the tail.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 03:48 pm:        This are not mine ,but for some side cases a good solution.   Fotoguzzi Posted on Wednesday, May 11, 2016 - 09:07 pm:        Brother, those are nice, thx for the pics, I discounted the XB9S in my search after the Uly (got a Dr650) cause there was no luggage options.. but now I might like to get one someday.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Thursday, May 12, 2016 - 03:28 pm:        Guzzi ,you're welcome! It works also perfect for hauling boxes with parts   Sids Posted on Monday, May 16, 2016 - 05:09 pm:        Thanks for all the posts! I picked my bike up Saturday and started on some brackets today, will post pics when complete!   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, May 18, 2016 - 03:32 pm:        If you like ,say hello over here! http://www.ukbeg.com/index.php   Sids Posted on Monday, May 30, 2016 - 03:35 pm:        Hi all, Thank you for your replies, here is what I came up with.   Brother_in_buells Posted on Wednesday, June 01, 2016 - 11:13 am:        Nice work Have a lot great miles!
