Re: R1100S hard bags

Paige, you say "then with short bolts".  I found them to be rather longer
than they appear.  I don't have details right now but recall a length around
25 or 30mm and 5mm dia, again working from memory??

I placed the (allen) head of the stainless steel bolt on the outside
(bottom) and the end above the nut inside I "covered" with nice little cap
nuts.
