Bag bumpers

[Mike S.]

So, I have the chrome guards all around my bags on a 99 IS, and when I added a hitch reciever, that moved everything out about 1/4" each side. Now the rearmost center piece no longer fits, and neither does the bar that goes between each side of the bag mounting hardware - the one that is closest to the tire.

Any ideas where to get longer replacement pieces?

Thanks in advance!
Mike

I put a hitch on last year and made my pc by the tire not fit. Bags are to flimsy without it. This year I made some outta copper and slid it over the other pcs on the bike. I used 3/4 copper and some electical tape for a tight fit. Painted it black. You cant tell I done this since the hitch is black anyway. Works good to. It did fall off once, so I make sure its secure every now and then.

Any chance you would consider selling the rear center connection for the saddlebag mounts?
I bought a set of spare mounts without the rear connection.
I may have to think about the copper solution.

I'd hate to, if something happened to the valk and I take my hitch with me. Sorry!

I imagine a welder could cut the support and add a small section for you.
I tried buying one from honda directline,but finally gave up after months of waiting.
Maybe they've come in by now.
