Soft Luggage mechanics

Post by tekxtc »

I have been trying to find out that if I buy Nelson Riggs side bags (either CL-855 or CL-905) or the RKA bags (either 33L or 50L), will I have to buy some mounts to keep them away from the rear wheel?

I used have a Suzuki Savage SV650 and I had to buy a mount that keeps the bags away from the wheel and the belt (it was a belt drive)

Looks like it has come up before, but not with a lot of answers with respect to needing any mounts or size limitation.

Will CL-855 be too big and hit the pipe?

Are any mounts needed to keep the bag away from the wheel?

Thanks
