Hitch Doc & Quick Bag removal Mod

[GJS]

Hi All,

I installed the 'quick drop' bag removal kit about 5-6 years ago after reading about it here.
It has been great, I can have the bags off in about 5 min by myself. Getting them back on by myself is a little harder because the trunk is in the way while trying to line things up.

In any event, I purchased a used Hitch Doc hitch off eBay that did not come with mounting hardware.
Does anyone here have this combination mounted. The 'quick drop' kit and a Hitch Doc hitch?

I'd love to see pictures of what you did for spacers and bolts.

Best regards,

Glenn

I have that combo. I had to buy more metric allthread to extend the studs out and use nuts to hold the bag frames on. I got spacers and washers (SS) at Ace Hardware to fill the gaps.

Great, thanks Sandy.

That is what I wanted to know. I need to extend the primary studs.

I appreciate the photo.

Best regards,

Glenn

I forgot to mention, the crossbar under the fender is deleted on my bike. Other folks have cut and extended the bar to make it fit. I've loaded up the bags and traveled 1,000's of mile without it.
