I know that H&B make luggage hoops that fit the S, but they don't show one for the SS/STT. I know I've seen an SS with H&B luggage system. Can it be modified to fit? If so, what must be done? If not, what rack system works to provide for the use of hard bags? Thanks. |

fatty, try contacting birdy and crusty. they'll get you squared away. both have done the mod you're requesting. all thats needed is a bracket for the front screws..... you'll need to make one. |

Here's Da Deal Fatty. Hepco & Becker make the bracket of the XB9s and XB12s the seat rails are a little different BUT the main bracket will fit along with the rear brackets. All you need to do is make a small front bracket and alls good. You will lose the rear pegs so no two up with the bags on...THAT'S call a ULY! Anyway a couple of photos Damn I'm getting as bad as CityXslicker! Opps to big let me link to the album. http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v87/MarkN/Buell/ |

What does this bracket look like? Do you have a picture of just that? |

I do but not on this computer and the other ones offline for the night. I post a photo of tomorrow. But it look like a long angle bracket made of VERY thick steel ( think .209" thick) I can also get you a DXF of it I think, had a major computer crash and may not have it any more but I'll look.

A related question. Is there any way to use Givi hard bags with the H&B brackets? Being cheap, I had planned on using my Givi's on all future bikes (starting with my Bandit 1200). I now use the Suzuki for trips requiring luggage and Buell XB12ss for non-overnight trips. Thanks |
