Cali 1400 - I Think I'm Done for Now

[mjptexas]

It looks like from your pictures that there are only two mounting points for the frame.  Is that correct?  If it is, you could have the rear mounting point cut and rewelded to correct the angle.

You would have to cut both the front and the back so all four mounting points on the Bow would line up.

I really like the Straykers - that's the exact bag I'd choose.

Bags look neat but left one seems to be hlf a mile away from bike in this shot or just trick of camera ?

They do sit a ways away, but not that noticeable.  Heres' the reason:

before adding the rack:


after adding the rack:


The Hepco-Becker folks don't miss a thing.  The C-Bow placement takes the width  of their aftermarket rack into consideration.

There are two options for the C-Bow racks on the V7 bikes.  One that tilts for the Racer and Cafe with upswept pipes, and more horizontal mounts for the Classic/Stone/Special.  I had to special order from the UK the latter for my Straykers.  I know you 1400 guys only have the one option.  They are well made.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

As for the bags, ..... All I can say is WOW! I would rather do without. If I ordered that set up, I would probably be trying to get my money back. If I was unsuccessful there I'm not sure what I'd do. Either throw them in the back corner of the garage never to see the light of day again or put them on the bike as a warning to others. I've seen better results from a 7th grader out back under the shade tree using a hack saw, coat hanger and a propane torch. But, as I said in the first line, ...

That setup would look super duper in blue.....

WOW this is a tough crowd.  Kind of like asking if you had any children that lived.
