Venture bags on an FJ1200?

[Great White]

You know, I was sitting here thinking about the extra set of mkI saddlebags I picked up last week and find myself wondering if they would work on my fj1200?

 

Shape is about right, the angular look is about right too. Decent capacity and they turn into suitcases easily to carry in to the hotel. The 85 bags even use the same style key as the FJ1200 so I can re-key them.

 

i should go pull them out of the loft and see if they line up decently....

I bought my 85 because the bags resembled the FJR that i couldn't afford.

I did an initial "hold it up and look" fit.

 

Looks ok holding it in place. Turn signals would have to move though...
