Guys, here's what I'm getting at, Will the Harley Calvary bags fit a Roadstar? If so, why are they sold based upon they types of bikes, instead of just bags?

Perhaps, I wasn't clear but what I'm getting at is: What's the difference between the Cavalrys' Harley bags instead of the Cavalrys' Roadstar bags?

Thanks!


Good God man we've been over this before on the other Calvary posts, what aren't you understanding? I have the Calvary bags made for Harley Touring bikes on my Road Star. I already had the brackets made by Baddad to custom fit the Road Star to accomodate Harley Bags which is why I went with them. Also, the Harley version of the Cavalry bags hold more volume 30L versus the Road Star's 23L.....

I would guess it's more the mounting hardware than anything else.

You can see from their site they have a lot of options.

Guess if you buy the HD bags, you'll have to spend a little time making/modifying brackets.

Good god man, you really need to take the stick out your ass and relax, it was a simple question and my question was not directed to you. It was a general question about the differences related to the bags. So really, "Good God man...what aren't you understanding?"

A question you had posed before to me and was answered in detail if you go back and read previous threads. If it wasn't direct at me then who then? I've explained the differences and provided pictures so please don't question my understanding, I'm finished with this discussion....
