It's been a while since I've looked into this and things have changed, but www.Webike used to sell the kit Honda part #08U70-MGS-J51. They do not list it now but have an OEM Parts Quotation Form where they offer to locate the part for you. japan.webike.net/oem_parts/top/ If you read comments in my Part 2 video japan.webike.net/oem_parts/top/ there is more detailed information.

My 2 cents worth would be to use stainless marine grade U-bolts and your idea of mounting the bags directly against the frame is by far the best way to bo. Also I would use two mounts at the top with large fender washers on the inside of the bag or even a flat backing plate that extended between the two upper mounts. With the bags loaded, a lot of stress is placed on the upper mounts when hitting bumps on the road. Thanks for posting the nice video.
@JustPlainBill0 Жыл бұрын
You're welcome for the video. I agree that in a wet climate (not Nevada) SS U-bolts would be an improvement. As for reinforcing the mounts with washers or a plate, I just measured wall thickness of the Apache boxes and it's over 1/8" (3.6mm/1.43") and I don't think they need reinforcing. That said, I just hard mounted a a set of Saddlemen Cruis'nSlant (fake leather) bags on my Rebel and with just a light weight, somewhat flexible plastic sheet on the inside walls, I used 2" x 8" x 1/8" steel plates, back to back to reinforce those bags. So we are basically on the same page.

I didn’t know it could be lowered. Is 3/4 of an inch the most it can be lowered? I didn’t know it was a 31 inch seat height everything else I’m reading says 32 inches. I am looking at one right now as a possible first bike because of it being CVT. It’s a rare bike. I love Aprilia and have always wanted one. The one that I’m looking at is a 2009 mana 850 for $2900. I’m hoping the guy gets back to me because I really wanna check it out as I’m not looking at anything else until I check his out. That makes me feel good about the seat height because I can’t fit anything bigger than a 31”
@JustPlainBill0 Жыл бұрын
The Mana is a really great bike, but every 20K miles, the maintenance schedule calls for a major and costly CVT service ( search the Aprilia forum to learn more). That's if you can find a dealer with the special tools and experience to do it anymore. Last price I saw, and that was years ago, was $1700. First, whatever your inseam is, you can use boots with a thick sole to increase that by an inch or so. Second, seat height is measured "unladen" (without a rider). At that point, the suspension should be at 1/3rd of it's full travel. When the rider mounts, the suspension settles further to ride height (approximately 2/3rd of full travel) which is the measurement you are actually working with so far as getting off and on. You might be surprised by your ability to ride a motorcycle with a higher seat height than you thought you could. I don't have the manual any longer, but BikeZ.com shows seat height as 31.5". As for lowering it more than 3/4", that would require changing the rear shock and should be done with guidance from someone with considerable suspension experience. **************** If you can overcome your feelings...for a first bike with an automatic transmission, you might consider a used Honda NC700 DCT (automatic). The DCT can be use in full auto mode, full manual mode or mixed mode which gives you a platform you can use knowing nothing about shifting, while learning about manual shifting as you go. Find a forum to see about lowering one; it should be easy and relatively inexpensive.

Iv got a 2006 FXDBI VERY SIMILAR to your son's bike similar pips no ape hangers I don't like them but that's my point of view. I really like the side sadle bag and the lowered back shocks .if I put them on my bike the wife could ride it. Only when I get another bike though. Iv got the big fat seat and a sissy bar so I can put the wife on.Its really good to see what other people do with their bikes to get ideas, I'm in NewZealand and will start using my bike to get to work and back soon just a bit cold right now for early morning starts .

Thanks for the comments. I fully agree on ape hangers. Funny thing, I've been riding since 1962. I wanted to ride his bike up to the street then back into the yard to get it facing the other direction. He asked me not to -- since I've never ridden a bike with those bars. At first I was offended, but thought it over and agreed it was a bad idea. Still haven't ridden a bike with ape's and don't miss the experience. Enjoy your FXDBI and your commute.

I really Hate it, when people say: British Bikes Leak oil. This is so "NOT true"! Motorcycles only leak oil, after a cowboy Mechanic has about 3 spanners and a Big hammer to make stuff fit. Sorry, but I have heard this for years, all it does is undermine British mechanical engineering! I have built many British bikes over the years, none of which "leaked". It is really simple, because the design is simple, does not mean you can throw it together like a toy. Reface all the Casings, check crank end to end float. Get the whole engine dynamically balanced. Use modern machining, so you don't let the side down. These engines were built to last for a very long time, the only problem was they appeared so simple! So every cowboy could buy a few tools and thought he could fix his own bike??? Here's an old saying that I was told when very young, "A little Knowledge is dangerous, - & if you are not sure, - Ask". Please don't take this personally, but You do have a very nice bike, please look after it. PS, if you did what I suggested, you would be amazed how smooth it would run. Thanks again & have a great day.
@JustPlainBill02 жыл бұрын
Thanks for a very thorough and thoughtful analysis of the problem and the solution. I don't agree that the cause was simply "cowboy mechanics". I'm sure you're aware that Britain's manufacturing/machining equipment was worn out by the end of WWII and consequently, their ability to make the same part the same size twice in a row was problematic; This was responsible for most of the difficulty English motorcycles made in 1948 and for years afterward to hold oil. Rebuilding one the way it should have been done in the first place is a great solution. Thanks again.
