Can anyone out there help me with some pics or dimensuions on the hard bag mounts on the pre '05 bikes?
I can fabricate my own if I have enough info...hopefully cleaner looking than the original.
I can post some pictures of them off the bike (the plastic rails they actually hang off if you wish, but there is a fair amount of additional steel that goes inside the back end of the bike to take the load and brace the subframe that wouldn't photograph too well
What's involved in removing the 2003 ST pannier mounts, and can it be done without having to put back something that may have been replaced by my dealer when he installed the mounts?
I don't plan on parting with the mounts or the bags unless I part with the whole bike--just want to be able to remove the mounts between trips (which are far too few and far between.
