Title: New Hprc tail satchel.
Post by: scra99tch on August 10, 2013, 12:45:37 PM

Here is what I am planning to install on the quota.  I like the construction and detail and its the perfect size.  I am going with their luggage cases on the sides and I think I can get some that compensate the offset of the muffler.

Oh and they're made in Italy but that did not sway my opinion.  They are not the priciest or the cheapest but are a great value.  

The only problem is that the depth that I have to compensate for is not geometrically similar to the left side.  So width is off a couple inches but length is very similar.

Made the mounts finally.  I'll have to pull my contents out if i want to take the bag off but thats alright.  I just drilled the rack and turned these on the lathe at work.  They are sturdy enough (I hope) to integrate a back rest on the bag itself for the missus in the future. Nylon m6x1.0 lock nuts with lock washer and red loctite, I hope I have it covered enough to not rattle off and tumble into someones grill.

It may look off center but I think the rack itself is a little off center.

If you wouldn't mind chiming in with some personal experience or opinions I would appreciate it.  What I am trying to do now is add the side cases.  But the Hepco racks I have are offset to clear the muffler on the right side.  If I remember correctly about 3".  Would it be wise to also buy the right case that is three inches smaller to balance out the bike or should I keep them lopsided looking?

HPRC does not sell a case that is the same on length and width so that would be something else to consider.  I may even shoot them an email and pictures to see if they would be interested in designing something that could look fairly symmetrical for those that want to do this to their bikes.


Thanks
