Saddlebag Side Rails not Top Rails

[dunvilsteev]

Do I have to purchase the chrome rails that go around the side (not on the lid) of the saddlebags from Yamaha? Do other manufacturers fit? Also, does the set shown in the Yammie catalogue for the Royal Star, they come to a point on the front, fit the RSV?

Thanks.

Check out ebay. But be patient. The best ebay link is the one on this site.

If you take that price from Seattle Sports Plaza to Roush Accessories at https://www.rickroushaccessories.com/store/index.php they will beat it.

I have done this for several items and Roush always beats the best internet price I can find.

Thanks I will definitely look into these areas, it would seem that I HAVE to go Yamaha, so my best route is finding the best price. Thanks again.

I like the one's on mine cause there different and that's what I was looking for. I bought them from a guy who told me they were for a RSTD and would fit my RSV so I gave him $50.00 and guess what they would not fit my VENTURE til I modified them so I really don't know what bike there for.

 

I had to add about 1 inch to the end to make them fit.

 

I looked at the ones for the Road King Classic and really liked them but would of still had to modify them besides I saved $160.00.

 

The RKC are really cool looking and will give a classic line to the RSV IMO.

 

If you have some bike salvage yards around you see if they will let you play around with some different rails to find what you want and buy a new set and modify................................Ron

When it comes time to install them try this link from Freebird to modify their mounting position. I did it on my 07 and it looks much better then using the original mounting position.
