Just got it firing!
I purchased a new-to-me 2006 Breva 1100 last November. Since I already own a pair of MG badged H-B Juniors, I decided that I would buy and install some H-B pannier racks and use the bags. It was finally warm in Chicagoland today, so I spent some quality time in my detached, unheated garage installing the frames. My college level German is a bit rusty after 40 years, but with the photos included in the directions, I worked out what went where. My first surprise was that not all of the washers were included. Oh well, just washers - I can deal with that. Then I noticed that the foot peg portion of the H-B brackets would beed some remedial bending. I'm less that excited about that, but I had read about the possibility on either this forum or Wild Guzzi. The final blow came when I realized that the top two holes in the H-B rack (on both sides) do not align with the mounting points on the Breva.
Is this normal? Has anyone else experienced this issue?
I have installed H-B brackets on three other bikes - two Triumphs and one MuZ. Those brackets all fit. What's up with H-B and Guzzi?
