[Luggage on backwards] Well, I did start to do that by accident once- they *do* fit on the top, of course there is no bottom that way.  It does seem like a stupid oversight by Kawasaki.  They should have designed one blade to be wider or thicker so it would be "polarized".

Wouldn't they flap around some without the bottom engaged?

A muffler company did that way back in '07 or '08 and published a photo of a C-14 in that condition as an add for their exhaust system. That was our first indication that the bags even could be put on backwards and the firm that did it (can't remember which one) caught a fair amount of ridicule.

So much of life is really just a series of little I.Q. tests....  :D

I remember that Brian, it was Muzzys. Great exhausts, but don't let them put your bags on...  ;)

Yep, it was Muzzy's. And they more than paid the price as I remember.  ;)

Then again it allowed me to use one of my very favorite expressions: "No, no, your other left."

ROFLMAO
