H&B C-Bow bags

[sir fred]

Can anybody tell me if the C-Bow bag mounts fit the Cali 1400 with the MG luggage rack? I saw somewhere that the C-Bow mounts only fit with the H&B rack but I am not sure if they've been updated.
Thanks for any replies.

I have installed them on two Cali 1400, both which had the MG luggage rack already installed.

They share the rear mounting point for the C-bows, I had to cut approximately 10mm off the C-bow mounts to make this work. Otherwise the C-bows bags would sit with the front of the bags higher than the rear.

I understand that the C-bow brackets are now supplied modified, with a thick washer that is omitted when fitting with the factory luggage rack, and included if the rack is absent. I'm yet to experience this in person.

Thanks Kiwi Dave!
This will be my next purchase.

I just mounted the c bow mounts with the Guzzi back rack. I had to cut off the top part of the two mounting points so nothing is modified from HB.
