ABSTRACT:
A bracket of the disclosure is universally adaptable for mounting saddle bags on cycles made by different manufacturers and having different sizes and designs. A first mounting portion of the bracket includes an inboard end portion with a mounting hole therethrough specifically designed for attachment to a first location on the cycle at its shock absorber. A second mounting portion of the bracket also includes a mounting hole therethrough and is secured to a second location of the cycle, preferably at its taillight mount, by a pair of L-shaped mounts. Each mount includes a pair of perpendicular legs with respective mounting openings therethrough and at least two of the mounting openings are formed to permit adjustable connections to be made to their legs. These adjustable mounting openings may be formed as spaced holes along the legs or as elongated slots. Securement bolts adjustably secure first legs of the mounts to each other in a laterally adjustable manner and respectively secure second legs of the mounts to the second bracket mounting portion and the second location on the cycle in a vertically and/or longitudinally adjustable manner. Additional mounting holes through the bracket receive securement bolts that secure the saddle bag to the bracket. One embodiment of the bracket has a construction specifically designed for relatively large saddle bags and another embodiment has a construction specifically designed for relatively small saddle bags.
