hard bags 7 Years, 3 Months ago  
Hello everybody. I have a small problem that I hope somebody can give me some help with. I bought a set of hard bags off e-bay that were suppose to be venture bags. The biggest problem is that I want to put roadhouse doolies on and to do this they have to be lowered which is the look that I really like. When I hold them were they would have to be just above where the pipes would be they have to be out form the fender alot more than I thought because of the swing arm. Has anybody had anything to do with a set up like this. Also which mounting hardware should I use roadstar or royalstar I believe they are different. I really could use some help. Thank you in advance grampyg (Rick)

Rick,

Steve has the 99 and newer venture bags mounted on his with the Venture Mounting hardware. He is also running Doolies. If I remember correctly, he only had to modify the mounting hardware to work on the roadstar. But his looks great. The mounting hardware is hard to find and very expensive new.

Here I hope is a pic of the bags I have and have lowered to fit the dooleys. I was told these are the Royal Star Tour Deluxe Hard l(Fiberglass or Plastic)bags. I had to make brackets to allow me to lower them so the gap wasn't so obvious. I will try to attach the pic. If I can be of help with what I had to do please let me know.
