No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationHave wanted to get a sissy bar for my KZ1000J for when the wife tags along with me. They are few and far between for a J model. Saw this Aschco mounting kit on e-bay and have never seen one before. Anyone with any info on it, particularly how it mounts and what sissy bar would attach to it? See below. Thanks.

Those appear to be mounting arms that slide inside a luggage rack & connect at the shock mounts.
The smaller brackets are probably for the rearward mount points near the turn signals.
Since it's an Aschco mounting kit, it probably is intended to be used with an Aschco luggage rack. but I think K&G stuff is the same.
I installed a universal fit K&G luggage rack & used a KZ440 K&G mounting kit. I got the kit for the offset Z-brackets. I had originally used galvanized flat iron brackets from the hardware store >> bought 1 & cut it in half. The fit was a little better with the homemade jobbies, but I prefer the chrome brackets . Luggage rack mounting kit .... Luggage rack without sissy bar. appears to be VG condition.
