Hepco Becker Junior Flash side cases with sw-motech mounts. I had the cases from a previous bike.

That looks sharp!!!

I wasn't sure when you painted the side covers but the bags and the covers do look good together. Nice job

good color match, nice job.

Nce job.

Interesting that your HB bags hang straight on the SW-M racks, as do the Trax, without the splaying we have seen with the Micatecs. Sure seems like it may have something to do with the Micatec adapters.

That looks great together with your silver side panels. Good work.

3rd picture from the top, splays in the front : exactly like one of the problems experience with motech racks

Doesn't seem to do this with the Givi racks. At least not as much.....

I have it with the Trekkers as well. I really think it is the rack itself and not any of the adapters since all they do is hold the respective brand bag against the rack surface.

EDIT!!!

I was just out looking at mine again and the Givi bags do not mount flush at the top. There are a couple rubber bumpers that stick out about 1/4". So, about 1/4" of my 1/2" of splay on my right rack is taken care of my these bumpers. Of course, these same bumpers have just the opposite affect on the left side where my rack splays slightly the other way........

Can the bumpers be switched around? Also, could you put some kind of spacer at the rear handrail attachment point to extend the back of the rack out to match the front?

No, on the bumpers. They can only be in one position (up near the latch).

I suppose you could, but then you would also need a longer arm by the license bracket. End result would be to move the entire rear part of the rack farther away from the center of the bike, which I don't think we want to do. I'm guessing the front to back splay will be with us with the SWM racks.

Again, we are talking about two different directions of splaying. I was referring to the vertical splay we have seen on Micatecs where they are angled out from bottom to top. The splay from front to back seems to follow the lines of the bike.
