Ken,

I have the system on The Blue Streak Downunder and saw the pictures of Steve
Ferguson's Harrison system with the forward bag support bent backwards.

To prevent this from happening to me I made up a wood block that fits snugly
in between the bag supports.

I was going to show it to the attendees at Patterson 'cept I done forgot it
in Houston. I did remember to stick it in my coach when I went to Bean
Station but then forgot I had it.

When I get back home I'll put together a show and tell so people can see how
it works.

Obviously one can also prevent the problem by welding a second 3/8" inch rod
at the top between the bag supports.

I spoke to one of the most respected GMCer's about the system and he's had
it on his Royale for 12 years and never had a problem. He did swap one bag
on each side for the one that the Quadra Bag uses to reduce the pressure
required.

Regards,
Rob M.

Did Harrison ever fix that bending problem with the center bracket?
