So that you have to have your dealer install your tankbag?  :b

On the ST there are 2 subframe tubes that hold the nose on.  I put "D"
ring clips on each of the tankbag front straps and clipped them to those
tubes.  I think this is in the faq on triumphnet.com/st/faq (not sure if
these mount points exist on the RS, though).
