what parts did you use?
was it a kit?
That's actually an interesting story. I had separately ordered both the OEM luggage rack, and a set of SW Motech Blaze saddlebags, not knowing that they weren't compatible. First to arrive was the saddlebags, which came with it's own signal relocation hardware, which is what you see on my bike. I installed the stanchion hardware as well, thinking I was all set for touring once the luggage rack arrived. When it did, I installed that too...but when I tried to put the bags on with the luggage rack in place, it was a complete mess. I initially thought I'd have to get rid of the bags, but I ended up being able to use them after all by devising my own home-made strap system. The stanchion hardware unfortunately was no longer needed so that's all sitting in a box. Expensive lesson and kind of embarrassing, but it actually worked out fine. I'll post pictures of what I did with the bags - it actually turned out good considering what a mess I'd created in the first place :/
