Removed the center two screws from the windshield mount , longer screws, punched holes in the bag. Took about 5 minutes

I've had 3 different bags on my Nad. The first was a nice big River Road bag. I made a bracket for it so it wouldn't bend in at the middle. The bracket bolted to the windshield. When I added Dog Bone risers it wouldn't fit. So I bought a smaller River Road bag that simply strapped to my Handlebars. That stunk! So I bought a Hopnel triple pouch bag made for a Harley and bolted it on.

By the way Shep how do you get the weather strip to show on your signature?

bobzinger, do you like the triple bag from hopnel? Are they velcro closures? Thinking of getting the same. Thanks

Bobzinger,
I can't remember exactly, but I think it is called a " gizmo" Once you find the website, you use the url just like you do photos. I'll try to find the website and repost.

Yeah I like the Hopnel bags. I had to put 4 new holes in the plastic for mounting...and I slotted the plastic by the mounting pieces to let it fit against the windshield better. I used the Harley model.

The orginal hole is to the left of the windshield acorn nut. I cut a slot to the right of the Acorn Nut for the vertical windshield mount to fit in so the bag fits up against the windshield.
