does anyone have MC Enterprise saddle bag rails?

[RedValk]

are they any good? do they fit good? Do they look good?

Got any pictures?

I guess finding the old Hondaline ones are just about impossible now??

Are there any other brands out there? JC Whitney? Others?

I'm looking for some for Sherry's Valk........

I have a set that i just bought off ebay,,
they look to be good quality but i havent figured out how i am going to mount them with this trailer hitch i have,,
the rails look like the old ones i had on my 1200 wing with the brackets on the back where we used to put the cb antennas and flag poles...
if you do not have a hitch dr. hitch the rails look like they just might be great looking,,,
i will keep ya posted,,

Jess - are those the "squared off" ones, in the rear, or the ones that seem to curve around the back of the rear fender?

Like these:





or these:





I am looking at a set of the latter ones, and I THINK they'll fit, with the HitchDoc...at least the receiver model, which I have.

Big Mike at www.valkyrieblingandmore.com should be able to hook you up with the much better looking Hondaline rails... for a price.

mine are the ones like on the black and cream bike,, well almost. the front of the rails take a turn down to the horizonal bar thats in front of the bag,,,

I bought a pair off e-bay , they look like the ones from honda. They fit rather well, look pretty good also, I dont think the chrome will last as long as the honda ones but I can also get them rechromed if necessary. The only problem I had with them the bolt kit isnt correct, you will need to buy different ones to hook them up correctly, not a big deal, Im pretty satisfied I would buy them again, If you e-mail them you can get them for the reserve price of 299.00 pluss shipping, hope this helps, they are shipped from dallas, discountcycle888 is their e-mail.

these are like the ones i bought...
these do not have the mounting hardware which will make them useless in my book...
you need the bracket that goes in the front,,,

does anyone have a picture of them mounted on a VALK....with Honda bags? IE....since we don't have that bar in THE FRONT...pictured on that Black and Creme bike (what is that, a Shadow?)...i'm curious has to how they look at THAT POINT...the front part of the bars. IE, since we don't have that "crash bar" that runs vertically....what would they mount to?

A picture on a Honda Valk....would be worth a 1000 words!!!!!     

(I have already emailed big Mike...haven't heard from him yet. My Valk has the Hondaline ones, and of course, to me...they would be preferred....but...understand they are VERY hard to find now...and IF found, folks want "your first born child" to have a used set??????  It aint worth THAT....to me4   )

I have a set of MC Enterprise rails. When I Installed my hitch, I cut the tubes that go up to the saddle bag mount off with a tube cutter. Make the cut 2 & 1/2 inches in front of the rail.
Then take a 2 & 1/2 inch long bolt, the bigest size that will fit in the tube (I don't remember the exact size). on the head of the bolt off to one side, weld a piece of flat metal about 1 inch long, drill a hole in the metal the size of the bolt that holds the bottom piece of the hitch to the sides.
The bolt goes in the cut off tubes and attaches to the trailer hitch bolts, the front mounts to the factory saddle bag guard.
If you want I could send one of the bolts that I made, you could make a pattern then send my bolt back.

The Black and Cream bike in the picture IS NOT A VALKYRIE. it is an 1100 Ace Tourer. Those rails will not fit the Valk without the proper mounting hardware. If you buy these rails from ebay or any other source PLEASE MAKE SURE you get a garentee that everything you need is included and that it will fit your Valkyrie. I do haev 2 sets of OEM HONDALINE RAILS. One is brand new the other extremely nice used. Red Valk gets first oppportunity. They do come with a price as NITRO mentioned.
