There are a few people who use the bags to make bob tail trailers. The swing arm and what not.. i know of dealers that have a ton of them.. collecting cobwebs and the rear tire and rim you can safe if you are going to use the tire on your trike(front)... I am not sure there is a good market for the take offs..or it does not seem like there is to me!
Hey Guys and Gals,
I posted a want add (sort of) a while back asking if anyone had the "micro switch" from used bags and no one said anything. I was going to use the switch which tells the heads up display the bags are open to show if my trunk is open.
I assume the switch is with the bags when they are removed to make the trike and the wires are "shorted" under the seat to tell the heads up display the bags are closed.
Back to the original question, does anyone have the switches from the left over bags? All I need is one.
Thanks for looking.

YUP -- With enough pieces and parts it can be done and work quite well... I would never do this for someone else but for myself it was a good project. I loaded it up with about 50 pounds of cargo a couple weeks ago and rode like it wasn't there... Nothing shifter or fell off so I guess it's good for long trips now....
GREAT JOB!! It looks like it came from Honda. I'm really impressed. I have the Pac-it-Rac on the rear of mine, but I got to think the 2 saddlebags hold more. I'm courious about the tail lights. On my Champion, the dealer has instructions to return them to Champion. I'm guessing Champion does something to make the lights fit their trike kit. I'm also courious how do you open the saddlebags?
GOLDRUSH,
You could probably have a market for your "invention" if you wished to pursue it. I'm really impressed how "factory" it looks. I've heard of saddle bags being put together to make a trailer, but your idea is much better. I'm a retired machinist and toolmaker and am not easily impressed with designs, but you have a beautiful product there.
