Couple of updates...

- Did a good bit of riding in the past two days, the bags are great, the only time I know they are there is getting on and off the bike, with the bags mounted as forward as I have them and having the trunk swinging your leg over is more of a punch kick, LOL. No bother to me really, just wanted to mention it.

- Yesterday I pulled the bags/brackets off (only took 10 minutes this time) to make a couple of adjustments and start finishing the brackets...

After working on a couple of the bends I prepped the brackets by scuffing with red scotchbrite pad and wiping clean

Primer

Paint

Close up of the "textured" black paint

I went with textured black paint as these brackets will get hit with rocks and road debris so I wanted something that was easy to touch up as needed.

I will post up the finished pictures later today or tomorrow.
