Bluemoonscooter Endurobags???
Posted: Wed Nov 11, 2009 4:14 am
Here are some pictures of the goodies.....I received the second bag today,and started the mounting process.Being that these are totally handmade,I was ready for little "issues" to pop up.
The bags are very well made and have a thick black gelcoat fibreglass shell.The rivets attaching the hardware could be stronger/better quality,but I will have to let some time go by before I make a judgement.
The roundels included are metal backed,look good,and the white in the roundel is actually a little "yellow"so it fits the bikes age,and doesnt stick out too much compared to the tank roundels.
Included are stainless steel fasteners,and mild steel mounting brackets as well as the light assemblies.The light assemblies are housed in heavy duty stainless steel bezel,include bulbs and wiring.
Here are some pictures (If you see slippers,I'm from Hawaii,remember 8) )
The bags are not attched in the way the original Enduros are,these are more permanently attached,with brackets that bolt to the frame, and bags bolted to the brackets.
The first issue I had was mounting the lower bracket.One mounting hole on the bracket is bolted to the rear footpeg,the other bracket hole attaching at the rear muffler mounting point.The holes were off about 3mm or so,and out came the Dremel tool.A quick slotting of the forward bolt hole and I was in business.I attribute this to the handmade,limited production nature of these bags,which are not designed on a computer,nor are the brackets laser cut......this is all done by hand.
Black Gel coat
Door fits well
These are painted pinstripes,however of the "taped off" kind.Looks great,nice job
The roundel
Inside detail,good workmanship,nice bonding
Here is how the doors attach,the rivets I mentioned earlier being small arer visible here.
Detail of the light
Here are the brackets
Left side brackets attached.......
This is all I was able to do tonight,once I have them mounted I will provide feedback on the fitment and hopefully low vibration!
I test fitted one side and it looks gorgeous......I cannot wait to get them on(and not have to wear a backpack while riding)
