Finally got my Happy Trails rack after being back ordered for three weeks. They look great and have tough looking powder coating. The only thing is the rack is for any kind of box set up you can imagine. For mine I went with the Givi E21 boxes. The price is very good and the size is not so big the bike looks odd.
This is the template they send out as a option if you go with Givi bags. It worked well but because I don't have a drill press I had some drill bit dither. That made the holes good but not perfect.
Simple enough to do, just four holes.
A lot of other racks dwarf the bags. So you end up seeing the back plate on the side of the bag. That to me is a little unsightly.
The instructions want you to extend the turn signal farther back so there out of the way. They don't even come close to the E21's. I just drilled a hole through the original turn signal plate.
Almost looks like it meant to be there.
Not too bad of a look.
