| Thanks for the reply Gary. I did not mention that I have the police style chrome rack that mounts the Bates police bags but the Interstate series is a little different shape and they won't sit flush on the police bag without suspending the front end of the bag somehow on the shock/passenger grab rail bolt so I think that this "device"is all I need. I haven't been able to find such an item in the basic hardware stores so I am sure that fabrication is the only choice. I will let you all know what I find out if I get some pics. Thanks again: John S. in NC 73.5 Eldo Civ.

I gave Tom Bowes a pair of Bates Interstate bags last week. The bags I gave him were from my '74 Eldo . He may be able to send you pics and or sketches so you can fabricate a duplicate set. Tom went to the New York rally this weekend he should be back on Sunday(If Cedar runs OK this time :-) ) John Sutton wrote:

pair of Bates Interstate saddlebags to an Eldo. I have seen several bikes that have them mounted on Loopframes in years past. The Interstate series were the ones that had the chrome guard rails wrapped around them so if anyone can give any advice I would be greatfull since I have a pair gathering dust that came from an old Norton.
