New safety chrome

[TDbiker]

I was wondering if anyone here has these on their bike. They are Saddle Bag Trim Rails:

They fit the 2nd Gen Ventures and the '05 - '09 RSTD. I can't say that I've ever seen a bike (pictures or in person) that have them installed. I wonder if it's because of the price (list is $177.99), or if it's because to install them you have to drill into your saddlebag lids.

 

My local Yammy dealer went to the creditors a few months ago and I picked these up at the creditor's auction yesterday for $28. There was lots of other stuff there, unfortunately not much for the Royal Stars. I did bid on a few other items but they went for more than I wanted to pay.

 

I guess I'm looking to find out if I should install these, or if there have been issues with them.

 

Thanks,

Glenn

put them on mine , keeps the tops from getting scuffed when passenger gets on

Yah! I had a pair too, helps protect the lids from gouges and scratches. Yes you drill holes so don't forget sealing around the mounts with either rubber washers or a dab of rtv...

Yeah it was hard for me to see the rails also, and I took the pic.

I made them. I didn't like the looks of the Diamond R, look to be a little flimsy bolted to the grab rails with the rubber on them.

LOL it is not a car wash, it was at Twiggs Cycles near me, they are two of the calender girls for next year's calender. Here is another pic.

Seeing your bike with lid rails on was something I needed to see. Reaffirmed how I figured mine needed to go on. Thanks

I'm pretty sure those rails are designed for the 1st gen MKII ('86-'93) ... but they do appear to fit ok on the 2nd gen ... but then I could be wrong ... was once b'for ....

I got the rails off ebay. They were for a Goldwing 1500.

Loving the look. Just the right amount of chrome and the spider paint is awesome.

I just sold a set of rails like that this week.

Thanks for the compliment. I just got some more safety chrome for it today.
