Krauser SWB racks and R65 compatability

[Deleted User 62]

Just had a guy with a R65 call about some Krauser bags and SWB one piece rack I have for sale on craigslist. Aren't R65 SWB and does anyone know for sure if they will fit?

The R75/5 and R65 wheelbases are only 5mm difference. But that doesn't mean that the frame mounting locations are necessarily the same. Dunno...

The biggest difference I know between the R65 mount and the Type 247 mounts is the lower front mount.

The R65 is horizontal to fasten to the top of the passenger peg bracket.
Type 247s are vertical and fasten to the side of the bracket.

Thanks Rob, it looks like the /5 mounts would interfere with the passenger pegs too.

You asking if the bags will fit or bag mount fitting?

the bags should fit and the mount from a R65 will not fit a /5 unelss you fix/adust the mount to the rear peg and muffler mount on the /5 with a R65 bag mount
