I bought a set of leather Honda Valkyrie saddle bags from a member here. They look terrific.
My bike had some abs plastic hard bags that mounted on some pegs and were secured with clips. Could someone show me what I need to mount the saddle bag brackets? Maybe some side and top pictures?

Are these the bags you have?



You need these to mount them on....





I used and modified a set of them to mount my Mustang hard bags with. 



Unfortunately for you, they're made of unobtainium and are no longer available.  If you find them, be prepared to pay top dollar for them.  Your best bet would be to post a wanted ad in the VRCC's classifieds, check eBay or Craigslist. 

Good luck.

Looks like someone could make these if they had the dimensions. Busy work for the winter and they could make some money.

GPz,  If that is the bags I recently sold, then everything you need is in the box except for the bolts that attach the brackets to the fender strut.  You can probably use the bolts that are in the quik detach pegs already on your Valk.  If not, then call me or send an email.

PS: Curious little brackets ya have on the sissy bar where the luggage rack mounts.

Lucky you! Looks like Bigwolf took good care of you. The mounts bolt on the fender rails in case you didn't know.   ???
