Looks good Blue!

I have to ask, though: Are you using any extra bag mount supports? Do your bags shake at all? I'm using the factory bag brackets and my bags shake so much at idle they look like they'll shake off. Don't know how I could fit a filler in there with all that movement.

Blue, I think they look TERRIBLE! You should remove them immediately and send them to me for proper *ahem* disposal.

No extra mount supports on my factory brackets, My bags hardly shake at all, Hows your fender support? is it cracked? I remember someone here had the "TAIL WAG" on their rear fender at Idle and it turned out to be a broken fender mount

can you make a bracket to tie the two bags together side to side?

Hmmm...No fender mount cracks. Just put it all together. My rear fender used to shake like a dog crapping razor blades; now with the bags its pretty stable and the shake has gone to the bags.

Considering it. Might become a necessity at some point. I know the 'Liners have a tie-in bracket on the factory mounts that fits around the rear tire.
