Cool story! Does either Merman or Jayfer have any details on the left side leather saddlebag? Bag and mount manufacture, model, etc? Thx G.B. Here’s two threads on the bag and how I mounted it on my 2011 GU https://www.sovietsteeds.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=22148&p=254154&hilit=Grill#p254154 ...

(Slime makes a fantastic, small air compressor). I did not use any a...

Northern Virginia. I’ve checked and there aren’t many licensed Ural service centers around. I am also going to contact Ural as well and see what they say.
