For an '82 Suzuki GS850G bobber project: is there any reason why this wouldn't function? (will fab a mount/box for it)

No there is no reason for it not to work for your project its a standard function ignition

You should be ok with just the mount itself; However, if the upper mount (silver in the picture ) is touching the metal (below the rubber) on the original, you may have to jack the engine up a bit more than if it were as mine was (only the rubber portion failed and leaked). I would (at least) check the other mounts since it sounds as if yours failed completely. Replace the rest of the mounts if there is "ANY" doubt. I apologize for the delay in answering, I work off shore.

I would say no. The design is pretty much setup for the Harley bagger mounts. You could probably fab new mounts on it, but if you have the stuff for that, you may as well make your own hitch

You need to find a rack to mount it to. If your bike has a rear rack already you may be able to fit a Givi/Kappa monokey plate to it, but you need to be aware of weight limits on the racks when loading. If you don't have the rack do a search for SW-Motech racks, they make adapters for just about every bike

Yeah, it's a standard Shimano mount. If your wheel takes a Shimano-style cassette it will fit. May not fit some older style free wheels.

The mounting screw increases the diameter of the mounting plug until the unit is snug in whatever handlebar you have. I'd be shocked if it didn't work for your application.

Hmm, what kind of bike and most importantly, handlebar, do you have? I have no problems at all mounting it on mine using one of the provided rubber rings. You should find images or videos about it using google.

It uses the factory headlight mount bracket to mount it's bracket. If your bike has the "lid" style bracket, there shouldn't be any problem mounting it. Even if your bike has the side mount headlight brackets, with a little fabricating, it will work. I have modified mine to house my speedo/tach, and indicator lights, eliminating the factory "dash" that doubles as the handlebar clamp. The dash stood up about 1/2 - 3/4 of an inch above the derby cover, and messed with the clean lines of the bike. Along with the derby cover, I purchased and installed a chin spoiler from DK Customs, together the two items make the bike look like it's moving at a stand still.

There will be enough clearance for the tires (I have 700c tires, which are larger than 26" and it works fine). Without seeing your bike I can't say if the mounting will work without some modifications. I had the braze-ons needed, so mine bolted on with no problems.

I bought this thing and could not get it to work on my ladies schwinn cruiser bike. It seems to need the cross bar (which I thought were only on mens bikes). Am I missing somthing because I am thinking of sending it back.

The lower part of the bracket fits directly under the rail - the limitation is really how much room you need to get a wrench on the screws that clamp the two sections of the bracket together - the blue vehicle shown in the pictures is a Suzuki Grand Vitara (99~05 model) and that has 1½" clearance from the roof to the underside of the rail - I had to shorten the allen wrench to fit the bars - which I don't see as a problem because the bars are supplied with their own allen wrench - I keep the cut down wrench in the glove box.

Really dude? Now wouldn't that all depend on how sturdy the base (curvy dashboard) youre mounting it to is?IF you have a solid object (surface) to mount to,,,,, (and mount securely),,,,, then yes, this adapter mount will work fine. I have it mounted on the handlebar of my BMW motorcycle and its rock solid.

Based on the picture I got back from Google (https://www.google.com/search?q=jeff+jones+h+bars&biw=1899&bih=1072&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=uPwFVauTPIeeggTW1IL4Cg&ved=0CC4QsAQ#imgdii=_&imgrc=OejP9M8yaFxQcM%253A%3BGDmCHk00WLqOqM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.gravelbike.com%252Fwp-content%252Fuploads%252F2014%252F04%252FJones-Loop-H-Bar-cockpit.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.gravelbike.com%252F%253Fp%253D3003%3B2292%3B739) it looks like it should work. You just need about 4 - 5 inches of straight handlebar out front in order for it to attach. On my dropbar handlebar the mount just attaches on either side of the stem - and then it just hangs right off the front. Hope that helps, Tim

I have it on a BMW GS Adventure, and a KTM 990 Supermoto. I bought the handlebar mount for both (basically a Ram mount), and it works great. I had the dealer install on both bikes, and it looks like it came from the factory.

I believe this model is specifically for bike's with mounting plates. There are other models with the piece needed if no mount.

I have this on my Kawasaki Vulcan. The Kawasaki's have a bar that is open for a place in the middle right in front of the windshield. The Harley's I've seen are blocked because the bar goes through the fairing. If yours is like that, it may not work unless you put it on the side, left or right just after the grips/controls. Hope that helps.

you might find a rack 1st, that you like,and then ask the manufacturer of the rack if it will install on this particular bike.other than that, it may be hit or miss,installing your/a rack onto this bikemarc
