Hi guys
I have just fitted Jumbo bags to my valk as per the install instructions but I am now considering
fitting large rubber washers approx. 30mm by 3mm thick between the fibre glass and bolts and the fibre glass and brackets to ease the vibration and any chance of cracking, can anyone see any down side to this as I feel I might have missed something as they don't come with the kit
many thanks

I have the same bags and also am considering doing something similar... I see no downside... btw, did you get the connecting brackets that go underneath? I have them and it helps a lot with the flexing

Yes brought them but made a bit of a balls up with the positioning of the bags, I was so concentrating on making sure the bags didn't interfere with the old ladys legs that I put them slightly too far back
meaning the u bar hits the number plate when it is bolted where it should go so I have ordered some small extension pieces so that I can move it slightly further back and all should be fine, I have to say on first sight I am very impressed with the bags

they are nice!.. I put chrome handles on the lids because the lids are so thin at the very end, and the rubber gasket creates such good suction.
