I purchased and extra frame rail and sissy bar set from one of the posters here who was doing a chopper style. Modified the side rails for the bag brackets, then I cut the sissy bar off so it would be the end supports for the bar the Honda 90 trail package rack could be welded to. (no pillion pad) I used some other 3/8 bar stock to bolt to another piece on the front end that uses the stock pillion rubbers in theri orginal spot to support the front. The quick detach is a GIVI accessory, the bag has to tabs on the front that engage the adapter and a lock at the back under the case lock assembly. It attaches to the package racks with simple provided brackets. I used a Honda Trail 90 because I had a junker to rob from, since then I went to an open salvage yard and found a better one but I have not yet installed it.Honda uses stamped formed supports to go to the fender that were difficult to cut and manipulate the way I wanted them. this other one is less functional, but only needs the rear cross brace and front assembly like I made and is held on with 4 flathead recesed screws. It would be a quick project to redo that part, after I get the sissiy bar parts out of the side rails, which means removing the bags, etc., so it will wait until next winter. If this doesn't make sense ask me more specific questions. Max
