TDbiker Posted December 9, 2012 Share #1 Posted December 9, 2012 I was wondering if anyone here has these on their bike. They are Saddle Bag Trim Rails: http://www.starmotorcycles.com/assets/accessories/500/STR-1D672-50-00-500.jpg 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bongobobny Posted December 9, 2012 Share #3 Posted December 9, 2012 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowrollwv Posted December 10, 2012 Share #9 Posted December 10, 2012 where did you get those armrests?? 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SilvrT Posted May 28, 2015 Share #12 Posted May 28, 2015 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 .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
