Finally able to finish most of it today. Still got lots of work to do on it and I'm about 90% happy with how it turned out. The last 10% is that I dont like how the bracket looks when the side cases are removed. Hopefully a coat of black paint will help rectify that.

I just posted my complete luggage setup for sale HERE. This setup looks the best and works great but I have a desire to do a new setup with the HUGE V35 bags for more storage. I love my E-21's but am riding my bike 90% of the time now and would really appreciate the additional storage. Once I sell these and the new project begins I will post that thread too.

Thanks,
Slolane

Hot damn, V35's? Nice. Let us know how it turns out. Those things are massive, I wonder how much more it's going to affect the handling. How do you plan on mounting it?

They might. But James never had the monolock latches installed to start with so I'm curious as to how his new brackets will be designed.

Edit: Just checked, they use similar latches but the brackets are shaped differently because of the curvature of the bags. Interesting. It's already difficult to make a normal T-bracket I wonder how James intends on mounting curved hardcases.

Hey guys, well no specific plan as of yet... I figured I would sell the ones I have, get the new bags and then figure it out from there.

I can't see the pics, but from what I can read I know is a custom arrangement.

I own a 2012 250R ninja.
Do you know any options in the market that are compatible with the Alu-rack?

I want to make it look like the GIVI option available in Thailand.
Too bad I already have the Alu-rack.
Otherwise I would buy the HR4 (top rack arm) and add the ready to install HB435 (side case holder)
