K-Drive Bags with EasyBrackets?

[mikemartin88]

Sorry if this has been covered somewhere, but I looked and couldn't find it. Has anyone mounted K-Drive bags using EasyBrackets? I want to put bags on my R3, and like everything about the K-Drive bags except the bar that's left on the bike when the bags are removed. Thanks for any info!

Thanks!

Appreciate the response. So they hold less than the Triumph leather bags?

Got it, thanks much.

Are the standard K-Drive brackets really that bad? I am pleased with mine on the whole.

I did have one issue with my bags when I fitted them a few weeks ago though. As standard I found that the bag sat at an angle that didn't suit the bike, the front angled up too high (middle image). I re-drilled the back of the bags to bring them parallel to the seat and lower by 50mm.

The lowering wasn't entirely necessary and just my preference, but changing the angle had to be done, I think - 5° done it.

Seems to me you could drill holes in the bags to suit any bracket you want. The bracket panel isn't leather, it plastic.
