Has anyone used one of these with any success. I want to put some bags on my new C50 and they have them in stock at the local Cycle Gear.

might take a wee bit of tinkering to get them exactly lined up, but they look like they'll work. however, i'd suggest that you check the swap meet to see if anyone is selling saddlebag supports, as you might save some money. i sold a pair awhile back (have ez brackets - didn't need) new still in package for like $25..

cheers!

Thanks, yep I was just trying to avoid the shipping thing...I'm a little immediate gratification on this one lol :lol:

i know how you feel...it's a strange week when i don't have something i'm waiting for to ship from a US supplier...usually almost 2 weeks, if it's shipped immediately.. :roll:

cheers!

the main issue u are going to have is finding bolts that are long enough. my '06 c50 had m8, 1.25 x 70mm bolts in it. but u will need to find a set of bolts about 100mm. it is very hard. what i ended up doing was going with 1/4 20 bots that were 4" long. just small enough to slide through the nuts that are secured to the fender on the front side. these are very easy to get.

So other than the bolt issue it sounds like the universal mounts are good 2 go?
