[How do you clean your windshield?]

The windshield on my Royal Star has a hazy film on it. What is the best way to get a clear view again?

[Question about saddlebag brackets for '96 Royal Star]

How does it look now? I got the new brackets yesterday and got the bags installed today. Very easy when you have the right parts.

The only thing I'm going to miss about my old bags is the lock. I can't leave anything in these and feel safe. Oh well, I think they look so much better.

[Question about saddlebag brackets for '96 Royal Star]

I will. Just waiting on the parts now. It shouldn't take long at all to get them installed.

[Question about saddlebag brackets for '96 Royal Star]

I thought those part numbers might be just for the brackets. I'm going to order the complete pkg. I have a buddy that is a yamaha boat dealer and he can get them for me for about $100.

 

I'll just sell the other brackets.

 

Thanks for the help.

Ok guys. Here is the requested pic of the bike. 1996 Royal Star, 8,000 miles

The hard plastic bags on it in the picture is being replaced with these:

I can't find a part number on the bags anywhere. But I'm pretty sure they are the ones that fit my bike. On Yamaha's website, it shows these bags and says they fit the Royal Star and all Road Stars. These bags came off of a 2000 Road Star

 

One concern I have is getting the correct mounting brackets. Here is what came with the package I bought (for a Road Star)

They will not fit my bike. The holes for the fender mounts match up but not the arm that extends from the bottom.

 

Pegscraper- those part numbers are different than the part number I found on Yamaha's website. See link.

This link shows part number STR-4NL73-40-00 for the mounting hardware.

[Question about saddlebag brackets for '96 Royal Star]

Pegscraper, where did you find that image? I looked for an hour last night and could not find it.

 

That helps a ton. I definitely do not have the right brackets.

 

I could not figure out where the lower bar bolts to.

 

Do you have the Yamaha part number for your brackets?

 

 

M61A1MECH- any idea how I tell which bags I got. Is there a part number on them somewhere?

[Question about saddlebag brackets for '96 Royal Star]

I recently bought a set of used Yamaha leather slant bags, complete with mounting hardware. They were installed on a Road Star. I think the mounting hardward is different for a 1996 Royal Star but I can't find pictures to confirm. The Yamaha website just shows the bags and not the mounting brackets.

 

Can someone show my pics of the brackets for a 1996 Royal Star?

[Photos of passing lamp install?]

I have a 1996 Royal Star and I recently bought some passing lamps. But I don't know how to wire them. I have seen the diagrams and posts on this site but would love to have actual photos. Anyone have pics?

 

Thanks.
