Penny tech soft luggage stand-off

[mjmrider]

On my 'Strom, pre-Caribou Cases, I purchased a product that kept my soft luggage out of the wheel on the exhaust off-side.

On the XTZ, I found that flipping the right passenger grab-rail upside down accomplishes the same thing, for only the cost of one large diameter nut used as a spacer between the rail and the mount surface on the rear bolt. Now the Ortliebs stay out of harm's way.

Here are some pics.

You won't even need to spend for the nut if you mount the left grab bar on the right side.
Leave the left without a bar.
Protect the finish of the muffler cover.

Hi Checks,

I had tried the left grab rail on the right but was not as pleased with the reverse angle it gave.

You're correct about protecting the muffler cover, I do that with paint protection film and silver duct tape; the odd shape of the grab rail has me using duct tape wrap there, until I figure out a more elegant solution.

Thanks,
- Mike
