Took less than an hour and that was only because you need to remove the rear wheel and exhaust can but what a simple solution to a potential costly mishap!

All thanks and credit go to CycleRob.

I would also like to pass along thanks to Rob for all his assistance over the years
He is a good 'teacher'

Thanks Rob! There is a lot of great info that has been shared by you, boxermania, and mike cam to name a few.
As a fairly new motorcyclist, I would like to thank you guys and the others who have shared their experiences with this wonderful bike.
I love this bike more and more and the more I work on it, the happier I am with it!
THANK YOU!!

I would also like to send my thanks to Rob, Mike, Boxermania, and all the others for there help when I needed it. Den

Cyclerob has been a helpful contributor for the almost six years I have been on this board. Thans. (Man, I am getting old.)

...adding my thanks to Cyclerob for aiding in my continuing education about motorcycle mechanicals. A true asset to this forum.

Amen!

WHOA!
What's going on here?
I blushing from all this praise directed at me, but, to set the record straight, I did NOT invent this bag pin solution. Someone else did years ago (?AdvRider guys?). I only popularized it with my pictures with embedded instructional text.

Those bag pins are near the top of my list of the biggest bang-4-the-buck modifications. Less than $2 for the pair of pins and about an hour's work. Besides the bag security, the pins are more functional as bag restraints, in that you can turn the key and YANK up on the opening levers without yanking the bag off it's mounts. That helps every time you open the bags!!

About all that other "Stuff" . . . . making things better in simple low cost ways, it's what I do for my bike, then pass it on when it works. Typing in the carefully worded instructions is the other part. I just mentally re-live the creation experience, suggesting common alternative tools for the special tools I may have used and cover any/all precautions that could cause costly/unnecessary damage - - - even warnings about the required skill level or to not attempt it yourself.

.

Rob, whether you invented the solution or not isn't the point.

The fact that you take the time to document, explain, and educate those of us in need of education is to be commended.

And even after 6-7 years (?) on the forum, you still jump in to lend members a hand.



Thank you.

+1 on the kudos for CR, but what is that a picture of?

That's the drilled-and-pinned lower sidecase mount. Keeps the sidecase from falling off if the upper lock fails.

Rob is the best! Unlike me, the useless im poster.
