how difficult to modify Dan Brown bags made for BMW to work with Guzzi?
« on: April 24, 2017, 07:52:42 AM »
I have some Dan Brown bags that were on a /7 BMW. Just didn't like them on that bike. Can't give them away to a BMW owner so wondering if or how a person could mod for a Guzzi.

I'd even sell for very cheap plus shipping. I only have a Lemans so can't go by that to mod as I expect they would better go with an looper.

They'd definitely look out of place on Lemans.

They look good on a loop.

The back side of DBs were molded different for each brand and model. Short of cutting away the back and laying on new 'glass I'm not sure how you'd make them work properly. Tonti DB on the left, Loop DB on the right: (photo courtesy Charlie Cole)
