Side Bag Top Rails

[venture101]

Does anyone have the top rail gaurds for the side bags? Are they worth the money? Where is the best place to get them?

I had them on my first gen. They looked sharp and helped protect the tops from scuff marks.

 

One day I will get a set for my 2nd gen. More chrome always looks good!

 

Here is a link to a previous discussion with some areas to look included.

Got mine on eBay last summer. Double tube type with single mounting in front and double mounting in rear. Work great and help protect the top.

I have the chrome racks on my 83 venture royale. Both side bags and trunk. They help keep the scratches down plus great for tying those odds and ends too. I have a custom duffel bag for the trunk that slips right on too which comes in handy. After a year of riding and getting the bugs out the Venture Royale 83 is my long distance Bike.Super reliable, the ride is unbeilevable solo or with my wife. We can load that puppy down with everything we can imagine needing for the long haul and other than bumping up the air pressure a bit we're ready to go. I've been riding for 42 years and had my rear on every bike you can think of and this one I'll be keeping like my twin 86 Viragos. Lol, sometimes you feel like doing wheelies and making sportster owners cry, lol. Anyways, if you can find the racks get them. I made mine and sent them out for chroming, same as guards for the side bags. Didnt like the ones I found out there, too blaaa so I made up my own. You'd be surprized what you can get strapped down on them and they look totally awesome bare, all that chrome Bet I get 15mph more with them on, lol.

My local dealer just went under and had a closing out sale. I picked up some real good deals including the top rails. Just installed them, and they look great!! Protection for the bags and kind of a handle when opening the bags. Of what I can see, not only do they look good (shiny is alawys good) but will be functional as well. I don't have pics yet but when I do I'll post.
