    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Anyone mount hardbags on a GS1150?

Any particular kind of "hardbags"?

The July, 2009 Bike of the Month was an '83 1100ES that had 1100GK bags grafted on.
I liked the concept enough to do the same thing with my 850G, but that 1100 really looks good with them.

It would obviously require a bit of custom fabrication, but it wasn't much, in the case of my 850.

I have never worked on an 1150, so I don't know what frame brackets there might be on the rear.

I can take one of my saddlebags off to show the framework that needs to mount to the bike.

If you have enough hard points that it looks feasable, I can get some specific measurements, too.

That would be great. I'll have a look at Bob's Cycle to see whether they have any. I found a pair on Ebay for $80, but shipping is $100.
 
That's GS Scott's GS! Maybe just shoot him a PM and he could help you out Pilot.
 
Steve's info should do me right, since even Scott's bike is different from mine. I won't have it done for a weeklong trip I'm taking the bike on in June, but I have a Wolfman bag that will do for that.
