    Can you get some pics from licks cycles , larossa, or bad g customs? They do great solo bags, or Pete at plunder dog.they might be able to flick you some pics.

    I have made one for my 48. It mounts to the 2 bolt holes for the pillion peg on the left side. I then got it chromed so it wouldn't rust when the solo bag touched it. I have now also made a bracket and had it chromed for a mates Dyna, they look great and the solo bags sit perfectly. I will try and put some pics up.

    I have a La Rosa on my 48. Mounts on the brake line and two points on the frame, super easy and looks great!

    I will get some photos up asap. With my bracket the bag doesn't touch the bike or the swing arm so no rubbing but still sits nice and close to the bike.

    If you can work it out you would sell some here. 

    I was thinking of getting a "Licks" but have not got around to it yet.

    This solo bag set up works great and matches the lines on the bike. A lot of time was spent in the shed with a beer working this one out.

    If you can see in the top photo I have made my own side plate holder with two LED lights in it and yes it is visible from 45 degrees from the rear and is legal. I also made up some foward control heel rests which are great on the hwy. I will put up some better photos.
