Who in their right mind would cut their support brackets on a new bike to install this? You would be adding an additional 237.00 to replace the bracket if you decided to remove the kit.

Wouldn't need to spend a penny. If you ever wanted to remove the link you would simply remove the link and leave the bag support alone. All you're doing is rotating the front of the support a little further to the rear, doesn't hurt a thing.

And my 2c... I remember when this topic first came up, and when Rick first developed the kit. His warnings (on more than just this forum) that the Voyager support brackets would require modification were very loud, and very clear.
Obviously some people are deaf. I wonder if warnings are affixed to the packaging the parts are shipped in?

All we are guys would we read the instructions or looked at the pictures..with these bikes be in mass produced even the Bags on the vaquero could rub if the brackets are not perfect from the factory. And really the tiny dent on the shock that you never Going to see does it matter

People are unpredictable and stupidity has no limits.

To me it would and I wouldn't start cutting brackets on my bike for any add on. That's just me. If someone wants to start cutting their bike up more power to them.

Do t u have a bmw fourm... Since they have 40% issues to manage.. You are one of the reasons no one tries to make metric parts...

That makes no fucking sense.

I've had issues with my bike for sure. I've admitted it and will call a spade a spade. No bike religion preached by me. That said, the bike works very well. I'd advise to take a test ride on one. BMW actually has demo bikes and lets people try them out and not for a 4 mile ride either.

Guys lets all shake hands and play nice. If you don't want or need to lower your seat height then don't buy any. Lets not try to ruin it for the guys that need to get their butt closer to the ground. I truly believe we have a great product here that is needed by many or we wouldn't have taken Trrust32's idea and refined it. We're just trying to earn a living here doing what we all love. As I stated in an earlier post, we're not going to get rich selling these and I don't want to see this turn into a s#!t storm. (At least no more than it already has).
Thank you.
Rick

If that's the case stop sending PMs asking us not to comment on the product.

When I buy something for the bike, house or whatever, if I see its not going together the way I think it should, I'll look at the instructions to see if I did something wrong 1st. If that checks out, I check to see if its the right part number if that applies. If all looks right, then I contact the place it was bought to get a solution or a refund.

Guys sorry I'm so passionate about this, obviously I had something to do with the creation of them.. It just irritates me that somebody's making something for metric bikes, he is not making tons of money on them, and he has sold very few of them... things are going to happen, issues are going to arise but we all have to be somewhat accountable for everything that we do our bikes... I'm just glad that Rick is tring to make these and making something for metric bikes so I apologize for ranting.

The difference is that the problem won't surface until the suspension is compressed, meaning the bike is ridden.
