Saddle Bag Guard Bags (will Harley fit?)

[Cerviperus]

I've noticed in several different catalogs, and various websites, leather bags that fit on the saddle bag guard rails of Harley's touring models.

 

See this page for examples from Whitehorse Gear.

 

My question is, does anyone have a set of these installed on the RSV, or know of any made specifically for it? I can't really see why they wouldn't fit, but I'd hate to invest in some only to find out the dimensions are off.

 

Thanks in advance!

I was looking at that a while back. they will fit but are a little Thick. When you Lift the Pass footrest they will hit the bag. Will work though. I got a buddy who is making us some so I didnt buy them but they will go on the rails.

I'd like to see some pics of those when you get 'em!

I Google'd the HOPNEL bags and they're pretty reasonably priced compared to the Harley ones. I may have to consider those as an option. And thanks, Tartan, for the bit about the Harley ones hitting the passenger footrests when raised. Do the HOPNEL ones do the same, or are they a better fit?
