Hi......I am about to have S3 mounts installed on my S2. Are there any "weak" points that should be beefed up on them prior to installing them?? Thanks.........ride safe, Jack |

I haven't heard of any mount weakness, just the bags. |

The parts that attach to your bike is just metal tubing - nothing weak. The plastic on the inner bags will crack eventually if not already. Some layers of fiberglass and changing the bumper on the lower rear to a 4th mounting point will prevent and repair any damage. |

Jack- I am running the s3 to s2 factory conversion rack and have had no issues after 2 years and thousands of miles. They do vibrate at idle like everything else. Shane |
