Ken,

Steve F. posted pictures of his bent 4 bagger and it was the plate that
supported the bags attached to the forward facing swing arm.

Jim B. has reported that the 1/4" frame bends also.

Do you remember what specifically was bent on the three units you looked at?

I have only looked closely at 3 of those 4 bag systems.

#1 was on a coach that I was looking to buy. It was bent. I went looking
for a different coach.

#2 was on a coach belonging to a friend. It was bent. He claimed he was
going to weld up some braces for it and install them. I do not know what he
ever did with it.

#3 was on a coach of a GMCer who stopped by looking for help on a front
wheel problem. It was also bent. Since I did not know him well, I did not
say anything and he went on his way. I saw him later at a rally still
driving the bent 4 bagger.

After seeing those three I have made my decision on which one to buy.

I know I do not want one that is bent or subject to bending. BUT it appears
that some bending can be tolerated as all three of the above coaches were
being driven down the road. I just do not know or care to find out how much
bending can be tolerated before it needs to be replaced.

BTW, I still have the original 2 bag system which works satisfactorily for
me.
