The SHRIKE MOUNTS™ system is a product of Blackbird Dynamics, LLC. The system is a result of years of trying to find a better way to carry stuff on modern sportbikes without damaging the bodywork. Saddlebags and tankbags can damage the paint and can leave ugly mounting hardware or straps when the bags are off. Tailbags are small, destroy the look of the bike, and can also use straps that damage your bike’s bodywork. The SHRIKE MOUNTS system provides a cleaner and less intrusive method for mounting luggage to your motorcycle. The system allows you to mount many different sportbike-sized saddlebags - or anything else you can attach to our receivers - to your motorcycle. On a budget? 50 cal. steel ammo cans make a good waterproof container, and they’re easy to mount with our system! See our gallery for other applications, or if you have a custom need, contact us to see if we can help.
Why the name SHRIKE MOUNTS?
The shrike is an unassuming little bird known for its unique habit of impaling the bodies of its prey on thorns or barbed wire. This behavior helps the shrike tear off bite-sized portions of its meal, whether it be a grasshopper, a mouse, or even another small bird. It also provides a convenient way to store the food so the shrike can return to it later.
Our design is similar. Mount our receiver to your luggage and then slide it onto the mounting spike. It’s an easy way to spear your gear (or your lunch) until you’re ready to remove it. For more information on the shrike, visit your local library.
