Thank you for your service Patrick. ::003:: I received a "Thank you " from a fellow worker as soon as I got to work this morning. MM2 USN

A formal ::004:: is now in order now that you're out in the light of day! ;D Glad you're here with us Pat. Nice looking ride you got there. The 685 kit I got off of you was still running strong in the KLR the day I sold it.

::004:: zofo! I to had my eye on the ST early on and joined this forum in 2010 but I got sidetracked with a used 05 GS for 4 years or so. I always had a KLR 650 in the garage for the last 10 years but got rid of them both when I bought the ST. The longer I owned the GS the more I began to...

It was a chore to take off and put on the bags until I discovered what had happened. When I swapped the bag rails the lower support bracket would not even touch the bag on the left side. I loosened the nuts and re-positioned the brackets, now all is well. Lots of clearance now where as before...

Mine was the same as craigd's. Brackets installed on the wrong side. Easy fix.

My left OEM bag was sagging in the front and too close to the muffler on the front lower edge. I found the problem and the solution but it might not be the same as yours. Look at the lower front corner by the red latch. Does yours look like this?

Took a 320 mile ride through north central Arkansas for a hamburger. ::001:: Lots of twisties!
