HUSQVARNA BAGS ARE HERE !!! FOR TR MODELS

I feel your pain oregonsage. I walked in there the other day and ended up with a Strada to keep the Terra company. Hey, krussell. There were still a few sets of cases sitting there.

Can you elaborate on the mod that they came up with? I'm trying to install mine now and I'm sure it's something simple but before I spend an hour or two figuring it out and making trips to the hardware store I figured I ask.

The mod involves using a bushing/spacer at the front mounts and sawing off the smaller diameter lower plastic of the rear mounts. You also need 2 additional bolts, but I don't recall which 2. The spacers were the longest bushings my local Ace Hardware had and fit the bolts just right. And, after sawing down the rear mounts, put the factory rack in the same angle as it was originally.

I got my 'stuff' at Ace also.


The spacers I used were listed as 5/16 x 5/8 x 1/2. The 1/2 being the height. The rear bolts are M8 x 60. The front are M8 x 45. Thread pitch is 1.25. There is an aluminum sleeve in the rack holes that needs to be shortened also.

Yeah, BMP sent those 1/2" spacers with mine. They are too short to keep the original angle. They probably work just fine, but I opted to be picky and got longer ones. I believe they are double the length, so about 1", I guess. They were measured in mm when I bought them.

Also, I don't remember any aluminum sleeves?

My rack had two short and two long sleeves inserted into the rack from the top.
Pic shows one in place and one removed.

Huh. Mine does not have those inserts.

Indeed, the right approach. Did the same.

Thanks hasenfeffer and dangslow.

Cheers!

I'm gonna stick with my happy trails soft bags... An added plus is the rear fender support on their racks- beeeeefy
