Full details

The Thrashin Supply Co Hard Mount Brackets are ideal for riders seeking a robust, permanent mounting solution for Essential and Escape saddlebags on their motorcycle. These brackets provide a secure, vibration-resistant fit with the added versatility of a 1/2-inch height adjustment to optimize your bike's profile. While they offer superior stability compared to quick-release systems, users should be aware that installation requires specific hardware considerations and, in some cases, modifications like turn signal relocation depending on the motorcycle model.

FAQs

Can I use these brackets with factory-installed saddlebags?

No, these brackets are specifically engineered for motorcycles without factory-installed saddlebag systems.

Do I need special tools for installation?

Standard motorcycle tools such as Allen keys, wrenches, and a torque wrench are sufficient for the installation process.

Can these be used on bikes other than Harley Davidson models?

While designed for Harley Davidson, they can be adapted for custom setups like Sportster or FXR models, though custom hardware may be needed.

Does the powder coat finish scratch easily?

The black powder coat is highly durable, but care should be taken during installation to avoid marring the finish with metal tools.

Will these fit my sissy bar docking system?

They can fit with most docking systems, but you may need to purchase longer hardware to accommodate the additional thickness of the docking points.

Troubleshooting

Saddlebag sits too high or too low against the fender.

Utilize the built-in 1/2-inch vertical adjustment slots on the bracket to reposition the mounting points.

Turn signal interference on Dyna models.

You must purchase and install a turn signal relocation kit specifically designed for your Dyna subframe to clear the bag path.

Difficulty installing with existing sissy bar docking hardware.

Additional spacing hardware or longer mounting bolts may be required to sandwich the bracket and docking hardware together securely.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a rock-solid, secure mount that won't shift under load
  • Powder-coated finish resists corrosion and maintains a clean aesthetic
  • Adjustable height feature allows for personalized bike styling
  • Comprehensive hardware kit minimizes the need for extra trips to the store

Cons

  • Not compatible with motorcycles that feature factory-installed saddlebags
  • Dyna models may require extra effort to relocate turn signals
  • Requires additional hardware if integrating with existing sissy bar docking systems
  • Permanent mount design lacks the convenience of quick-release systems

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation requires basic mechanical knowledge and standard hand tools. Before mounting, ensure your motorcycle is compatible by verifying it does not have factory-integrated saddlebags. When using the included spacers, ensure that all fasteners are torqued to the correct specifications to prevent loosening due to engine vibration.

Compatibility Note:

  • Designed primarily for Harley Davidson Essential and Escape saddlebags.
  • Sportster and FXR models can be adapted but may require custom hardware adjustments.
  • Dyna models often require turn signal relocation kits to provide adequate clearance.

Care Instructions:

  • Regularly inspect bolts for tightness after the first 500 miles.
  • Clean the brackets using a mild soap and water solution.
  • Avoid harsh chemical cleaners that may scratch or degrade the black powder coat finish.
