jw18 Posted March 30, 2012 #1 Posted March 30, 2012 I have a 98 Royal Star that I have almost completely turned into a tour deluxe. The last thing on my list are saddle bags, as I have all of the brackets and exhaust installed. The problem I am having is finding factory bags without spending a fortune! Is there somewhere besides eBay that I can source them? Also, I use to have a road king classic and I really kind of Liked those bags. Believe it or not, I can buy a pair of those for half the Yamaha factory bags. Has anyone done this, and if so is there a write up and pictures?
09RSTD Posted March 30, 2012 #2 Posted March 30, 2012 Are you talking about the old style facoty leather bags or the current style hard bags? I have owned HD baggers prior to owning my RSTD. I really like the HD hard bags better for packing stuff. They seem to allow better stuffing and they and deeper but a little more narrow. If you can find a way to mount them and like the way they look I would say go with the HD bags. Obviously this is a matter of personal preference. BTW if you can get yourself a set of the old style factory leather bags and want to trade them for some flawless hard bags off a 2009 RSTD in red let me know. I always liked to look of the factory leather bags.
jw18 Posted March 30, 2012 Author #3 Posted March 30, 2012 I am looking for the hard lockable bags off of the Venture and Tour Deluxe. I wished I still had the factory leather hard bags, but they didn't come with the bike.
M61A1MECH Posted March 30, 2012 #4 Posted March 30, 2012 There is 3/4 of a set of hard bags on the classifed section of this site under Royal Star listing, seems he is missing one lid, but that could be a start, maybe. Also there is a set of the leather slant bags like came on the 98 to 01 Tour Classics on the same section of the classifieds. Maybe not what you are looking for??
