THANKS it's very tempting but, then I would have to change my pipes... I might have to get the Freedom duals course then I would need the side rails for them too....Wow amazing how getting a good deal on some bags turns into $2000 fast!

Re:Royal Star Hard Saddlebags on a Road Star 5 Years 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

Room is never enough when your passenger is a woman...

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

I left the "midnight venture" writing, it is quite subtle!
