Yup, I forgot about that. He's right, you def have to use the saddlebag straps. Over the top, under the bottom, your choice.Tosspilot said:I recently picked up these bags and they seem really nice for the price point. I also installed the Motek quick lock racks. The idea was to strap the bags on to the rack and just remove or add the rack when the bags were needed. The only thing I do not like is the saddle straps have to go over the top of the rear seat. You can unbolt the rear seat and put the straps under just fine, but now you can not undo them easily if you want to remove the bags or rack since they are Velcro together under the seat. I do not ride anyone on the back, so it will be fine on top I guess.
I know I will be using the HT SUWhat racks are you guys using with these bags? I just picked up a pair and need some simple racks without any fancy locking mechanisms or anything on them. Suggestions?
Now that you mention it mine were short two bolts as well. I just happened to have an extra couple of bolts to make them work. It wasn’t worth the bother or wait of them shipping me two more bolts. Sorry for your experience.I guess really should have just started my own thread, but too late for that now. I really wanted to come back and give these things a good review but I'm afraid that's not the case. I received my racks on Friday the 4th, a full 23 days after I placed my order. Because it was the holidays, I was way more patient than was deserved, to be honest. They finally showed up MISSING two of the four main (M10x75x1.25) bolts that hold the racks on through the passenger grab handles. I guess they don't count all the way to four up in meth county Idaho. They fit well enough, and the fabrication is sound, but the welds weren't cleaned well enough before going to powder coating so there's already a couple little pinholes of rust showing after being on the bike for only 3 days. I made out alright using the instructions provided, but they were poorly written, mixed up SAE and metric hardware, and confused allen head with torx.
The racks are on the bike just fine and will be staying there, but the experience was NOT worth it. For anyone who's reading, just go with the Givis or ANYTHING else.
