[QUOTE="bmetcalf, post: 3085, member: 792"] [b]Luggage[/b] I made a rack for Krauser/Denfeld bags using Krauser cast aluminum loops and struts to the footrest plates and the seat front, with a loop connecting the sides in back of the seat. It was not triangulated and sank down during a trip, the loop leaving dents in the top of my SS guard. After that, I made links that connected the assembly to the seat rear lugs, which triangulated it. This does require a fully sprung saddle. An alternate to retain the seat struts is some added member on each side which triangulates the links from the front to the pannier mount frame. P 248, 249,260, 275, and 288 of 40YO have food for thought. [/QUOTE]
