Would protect a bit in a tip over. Get your Easy Brackets from Fast Eddy-there's 2 types of brackets one for the quick release sissy bar.   Post edited by fishy on 22 Mar 2013 - 10:45  Author  Post     Cody  Set Reg.

Keep in mind that if you fill them full up ammo, you might be pushing the limits of the Easy Brackets. For rain gear or an occasional 6-pack, they would be great. Would you follow through on the theme with a camo paint job?   This country was founded on the premise that I would have freedom from your religion.

(I tried Marmite once, blech...) Definitely not interested in making a rat bike out of the T-bird, but want to have something minimal to store incidental shit - I was thinking of the 50mm cans, painted glossy black. I am not sure that I want a bagger for my daily commute, but would like to go that route when I am touring.
