No worries guys, thanks for the replies. I've got a dodgy back and getting the leg over bags can be a pain in the arse. If I remove the brackets/frames (can they be removed?) does the exhaust still have somewhere to mount to? 90% of the time will be day tripping, hard bags will only be needed for long haul's or maybe not at all as I've got me old leather throw over's.
Apologies for the stupid new comer questions and appreciate your patience.
I don't mind the thin arse look and Rosie with no cheek's is still a whole lotta Rosie
