this is going to be better than an oil thread (http://i80.photobucket.com/albums/j180/stevewfl/bigthumb.gif)
Nice set-up indeed!

I would *never* be able to drill the holes with enough accuracy :)

Il tutto è molto semplice da fare, ho avuto molto coraggio o incoscenza, ma ci sono riuscito.
Per fare ciò basta partire con punta di trapano di 4mm. dal dietro della borsa nella casella ..vedi filmato,rimonti la borsa ,dai fori fatti immetti una matita per segnare
impronta sull'occhiello aggancio borsa,togli la borsa e vedi che il buco sia centrato,il gioco è fatto.
Everything is very simple to do, I had a lot of courage or recklessness, but I managed.
You do this by starting with a 4mm drill bit. from the back of the bag in the box .. see movie, rimonti the bag, enter holes made by a pencil to mark
imprint on the eyelet lock bag, remove the bag and see that the hole is centered, that's it.

Another great idea there MGvalerio. I like the use of the magnets to hold the pins. One could add some rubber grommets around the holes, to maintain the waterproof seal of the bags too.
2 non-related questions though: 1, what is the thing mounted on the back, below the tail light. 2, how have you connected the speakers in the bottom of the bags, and are they just for bass (sub-woofers)? OK, I guess that's really 3 questions...
-
other than the compromise of strength now in the mounting brackets, do you feel this offers more security than the simple lock mechanism already installed in the bag?
I would have to say someone with intent, is simply going to destroy the bag with a prybar.... :'(
this mod prevents 'accidental loss" without compromise to strength, or weather proof of the bags...

He is teasing us :)
It looks maybe, like a camera??
-
I didn't recognize it as a camera mount in the video. Add the camera, and it's much more obvious. Lets see, are you taking video of what you just passed, or the police bikes behind you? ;)
Nice idea for routing power to the bags, through the mounts. It would require having them pinned though since they do bounce around a lot. Hmm, I see the need for keyless bags is now one step closer ...
Keep posting up your ideas. It's what makes the world go round (well, that and the throttle, of course!).

I would love to see more pictures and information about stereo and speakers.... That is awesome!!!

You just get a bigger Drill Press... (http://www.vintageprojects.com/power-tools/drill-press-auto-300.jpg)

X chi non ha protezioni guardie posteriori alle borse del GTR 1400 ( C14) in caso di caduta moto in movimento ,solo così operando con fori rimarranno ancorate alla moto proteggendoci,diversamente voleranno via sempre in caso di caduta,causa lo sbagliato progetto fatto per l'ancoraggio delle borse alla scocca della moto.(((((MGvalerio Informa)))

OK, here's the personal translator again! :D
Valerio sent me a mail explaining more in detail an interesting point I didn't consider before.
For those who do not mount the guards to protect the saddlebags, the saddlebag itself can provide some kind of protection when tipping over or falling at low speeds (for higher speeds you only have to pray! ;)).
Better a big sturdy plastic mass than nothing... ;)
All this, provided that the saddlebag stays in its position after the crash.
Here is what Valerio points out: the GTR-C14 saddlebags have a poor design for the anchoring to the frame and can easily slip off from their position.
This results in an evident play (or lash...) when you try to move them from behind.
The bags can also be easily stolen because of this ;)
So, for the sake of safety, Valerio designed that simple solution you can see in the clip.
Yes, a couple of holes in the bags are needed... ::)
But at least they will remain there in case of accident providing some kind of protection to pilot's leg!
And stealing them it's a harder job also! :)

Beautiful work as always MGalerio! The speakers would just get me into trouble with all the 80"s metal that would be blasting from them! ;D
