Hey all! I have a pair of Hepco Becker hard bags and the mounting rig for a GS500 that I got from Patrick's estate. I'm not asking anything for them, just that you pick them up (University District). There may be a few mounting bolts missing (never installed them, so not sure), but I believe I still have the keys. I'd like to keep them in the community, so I haven't Craigslisted them or anything.
Aw shoot. Close but no dice. I was in Seattle not too long ago!
CC2, that is absolutely awesome of you. Thanks.
If I was anywhere near yinz, I would buy a GS500 just to mount those and rock them across the country.
Do you have pictures of the bags? If I remember, Patrick had a set of the old BMW style Krauser bags.
Do they look like this?

Or this?

Or are the bags something more modern?
I already have hepco and becker racks on my bike, so the bags would be compatible and I can pick up most any weekend in Seattle. However, I wouldn't need the rack, so I'll wait and see if someone wants the whole package.
I'm really bad at putting screen names to faces but I think we must have met at some point. If not with Patrick in the bike cave, then at the memorial ride.
They're a little more square than those, but probably a similar vintage, I'll get a picture tomorrow of the whole business when it's light outside.
I was on the memorial ride, my GF and I rode on a GS in the dayglow and white Kilimanjaro jackets.
By happenstance I'm selling a set of bags and racks, too. If whoever gets these needs help with installing the racks, let me know. I just took some photographs and could probably walk you through it by email or something.
I'm over in Wisconsin, but Seattle is my favorite place to visit. If you still have them when my classes end in a couple of weeks, I may end up taking my first long bike trip out there :)
I sold the cases on eBay. Still have the racks up there and would knock off some $ for a forum member.

Shoot, I should have asked to buy both... Good luck with the sale! :cheers:
