Harley Saddlebag Top Rails

[Hotrod]

I have searched the forum and the links I found did not answer my questions.I would like to know if any one has adapted a set of Harley saddlebag top rails to their saddlebags.I do not like the looks of the ones from Yamaha.Pictures would be nice, and what was involved in modifying them to fit the top of the Venture's saddlebag lid. Any help or links would be much appreciated.I have seen pictures before on this forum,but they will not come up for me now in my search.I think I want to try this. but want to be sure before ordering parts and drilling holes in my saddlebag lids.

I think it all depends on which saddle rack set up you're after. The flatter saddle racks may present a problem making them fit the roundness of RSV Saddle, however Harley does have a rounded saddle lid and this type may work. As far as getting any info off the board, I'm not aware of a member going in that direrction. Maybe you might have to be the first.

I pondered the same thought. And have been looking for top rails other than the yamaha style. it looks like there could be a clearance problem opening the lid with a different brand of rails.

I haven't learned how to attach pictures yet,but the ones I was thinking of are actually a Harley Genuine accessory.Touring Saddlebag Lid Rails-# 90200737.I hope someone has done this and can give me some pointers.I got the number and seen the photo installed on the bike at Harley's official web site under accessories for saddlebags.
