I am now embarking on the custom install of Champion, patriot hard saddlebags. I didn't look close enough at your pictures to realize those weren't old Valkyrie
bags... if your turn signal move works out as well as it seems it will, your bags
will be awesome.. make sure you mount your bags sturdily (that's what kind of
mount I was asking about
)... the Corbin bags are high quality, have very
sturdy well made mounts and bolt right on - but they are smaller than old Valkyrie
and Patriot bags... your extra work will be very much worth it... and someone
alluded to you getting a good deal on the Patriot bags... I scan eBay for them
occasionally just out of general interest... I saw a slightly scuffed up set for
$400 once, never any cheaper than that... your set looks brand new.

I am using the stock Honda hardware consisting of the two brackets that mount without the grab rails and the two side brackets that normally mate with the stock Honda bags. We shall see ??? The ebay listing said I do not know what these are so I am listing as universal saddlebags. They were brand new and came in primer with the peal stick red reflectors that I stuck on after getting them squirted black. I knew right away what type they are when I saw the ad and pounced!
$200 plus shipping
I see them on the website for $1,250 in primer.
They have no seams like the IS bags and the entire inside is thin grey carpet lined and I like that.
If they do not work I have the stock brackets and will get stock Honda bags and be done. I made sure that I can remount the blinkers back to factory at any time meaning I did not foobar any parts in this project.
First to move the blinkers (see MS Paint cut paste pic for idea)
