Royal Star Hard Saddlebags on a Road Star 9 Years, 9 Months ago  
Anybody install Royal Star Hard Saddlebags on a Road Star?
I have a set and want to install then on a 02 Road Star. I have the stock brackets for the Road Star but it looks like a lot of cutting and welding to make them work. Would it be better to buy the Royal Star mounts and adapt them to the bike? Any help would be Great. Any Pic`s ?
Thanks Eric

I think Thebru and Vegas dave are running them. Do a search and you should find some info.

I have Venture bags on mine. I used part of the original mounts and had to do some minor welding and bending. I think I posted pics of them before. If you can't find the earlier threads or need more explaining feel free to ask. The hardest part was the final tweaking for alignment. I love they way they look and the extra cargo room.

Eric,
I think its way too much work to try to make them fit you better just send those bags to me. I've got the full garage/welder etc.

Were they the ones that were crashed? looked pretty good in most pics except one where the inside was crushed.

I got mine on e-bay $420 with shipping, Excelent condition Not even a scratch. From a 04 Ventura. If my bike was White I would not even have to paint them. All the hardwere included just no brackets.

Hi ,
I have the set of royal star saddle bags . One is blue/ black will have to do alittle fit on chip and paint pearl white and thasts right side.
other is pearl white but got alittle bit scratch on top But will touch up. . thats left side . I spend for both at e bay cost was $379. dollar , also I got royal star side bracket and bottom spports . almost everything I need . so i am plan to do mod work to do . but i need to get true droul or roadhouse brand pipe..
I was looking for both set of pearl white becuz my 2006 roadstar is pearl white , I was dispointment But I had to do is to have a paint job work on .
its some work but it will be pretty easy job to do .
just trust in your heart and you will do fine !! trust us !!!
