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:

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 :-) )

 Anyone know if there is a product currently avaliable that will mount a

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.
