Re:Royal Star Hard Saddlebags on a Road Star 5 Years, 1 Month ago

Hi Eric.
I'm mounting a pair of venture bags with bag guards using lower venture star hardware and easy brackets on my 03 roadstar.
There's a lot of work to do: to bend the royal mounts to make them straight, to build 4 brackets, to modify the rear spacer and minor things...
Anyway, I'm almost done, I need to enlarge only the rear spacer (the one that goes behind the wheel and below the fender). I'll post some picture when it's finished, if you are interested

Very nice eirinn99. I might do this. I've been looking to possibly change out the silverado bags.
