Passenger boards with Corbin Hard bags?

[RocketRay]

Has anyone installed any passenger boards beaides Rivco with the Corbin Beetle bags?
Which ones did you use and how can I get them.
Thank you,

Yes, I just re-installed the bags with the new rivco bracket. This gets expensive as you buy the boards, the relocation arms and the brackets. The brackets are chrome as opposed to the Corbin rusting coated steel. I had problems with the corbin brackets fitting and it required putting the footpegs back and still bending and cursing.
The corbin bracket is rigid and attached at two points. The rivco substitute only attaches at the bolt and therefore has some movement to it.

Mike,

I am about to enter the Rivco scenario you just described. I did not realize I needed to buy all 3 pieces, I thought the Support Bracket took the place of the Link Arms - my bad, but something I can remedy for only $ 90 with shipping!

Do you have any photos of this set-up? I did a quick eye-ball and the brackets don't look like they line up, I am hoping some slight bending won't destroy the chrome plating.

My question has to do with the mounting holes and dimples that are on the bike and also the floorboards. The Support Bracket doesn't have them, will this cause them to shift and move since you only have a single bolt and the tension created by tightening the bolt to hold it in place?

Also, do the Link Arms (extension piece) go on the outside of the Support Bracket or between the bike and the bracket? The instructions I rec'd so far are pretty vague.

Thansk in advance and would love to see some pics if you have any.

Thanks, Scott

I'll try to get some pictures and then after I look at it again perhaps I can answer your questions. Want to look at the bike and don't do this off the top of my head.
The bag bracket was mounted by me at the back of the bolt so did not interfere with the pins on the footboard mounts. I think this is the only way you can do it. I wish I had dinner last night with the owner of Rivco at Americaide i wish I could have asked him.
