Its been raining for a couple of days (although I did get to ride to work on Wed and the 10 days before) and I am trying to get the nerve to drill the bag lids for the MC Enterprises lid rails.

A question for Skip or anyone who has installed the bag lid rails. How did you determine where to put the racks? It seems to me as I move the rack around on the top (after I covered the top with blue masking tape) that there are several points where the rack seems to fit with the curve of the bag, but none seems to be a perfect (whatever in the heck that is) place. Did you center the rails front to back or side to side. I am having difficulty doing that because of the shape of the lid and the curve of the rail? I tried looking at some pix of Skip's bike but am having difficulty determing where he placed the racks.

Any input would be met with the utmost gratitude and thanks.
