Very creative and inspiring. I love my SW-Motech Top Case and my OEM Rear Rack. With your creativity and vision, you may have solved the problem I was failing to solve: how I can mount the W-Motech matching side cases and preserve everything else. Thank you! David

Okay, they are mounted. It is (most) done and I have a definitive answer:
First thought, best though. You have to just mount them outside of the rear rack. The screws that were used to mount the rack are not long enough with the added width of the side mounts, so you need to buy four new screws. They all need to be 8mm x 1.25mm. Two of them should be 90mm button top; two of them 80mm socket flat head.
The mounts come with arms to relocate the blinkers, but my blinkers were already out of the way, down by the license plate. Not sure if that is because H&B is a German brand and this is a Euro vs US set-up, of if my bike’s previous owner moved the blinkers when the rear rack went on. But either way, the relocation arms are unneeded and unsightly, so I’m planning on cutting them off to just streamline the look a bit.
(For some reason when I try to upload a photo it just runs from 0% to 100% and then doesn't actually display the upload for attachment/publication. Y'all are just going to have to trust.)

The signals must have been moved by the PO. Heaven knows why; they work all right in their original position with the rack on.
Having uploaded the photo, did you click "Insert in post"? Or is the original photo file larger than 2MB?

Congrats on a successful install!
Hoping you can ultimately post pictures.
Do you think the other H&B rack would mount similarly?

Or not really able to tell?

I have read that that those ones *are* compatible, but I don’t know for sure. I didn’t go that direction because the C-Bows would work with the hard cases I already have.
