	New member here.  I apologize if I am using the wrong etiquette, or format or whatever.
 
	 
 
	The main reason I joined was that I have a 1996 Royal Star and could use some advice.  Bought it new with no bags, or windshield.  Installed a shield a decade ago. Have been using a cheap, 35 year old pair of throw over bags that I actually bought for my 1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado.  I do have royal star brackets to hold the bags away from rear wheel.  Those bags are small and shot and I need more storage.  Does anyone have any advice or experience with throw over bags or modifying aftermarket hard saddle bags for a '96?  Headed to Prince Edward Island if the smoke does not chases away, and would like to have more storage for the unpredictable Canadian weather.  (Nova Scotia was a fantastic ride a few years back but I was under-prepared for the swings in weather.)
 
	 
 
	Thanks for any ideas and/or effort.
