I guess if you *had* to have them -- used to say in the military, "Want it bad, get it bad"

Not showing any of the hardware, and there was a substantial bag worth - special bolts for the clamps to the dresser bars, longer bolts for the mufflers to provide the extra length taken by the bar end bushings. I'd also be concerned about the condition, as the bars being exposed at the rear of the bike, pick up every bit of road chemicals, and few owners will clean them meticulously to keep them in pristine shape.

I just saw $200 bid, that doesn't seem expensive, I didn't see a buy it now price.

Same used HD are going for $55. To bad they don’t fit Rocket

Do you remember which ones those were? I tried the ones that look like the ones being bid and they were to short and didn't fit the front rail.

I extended them at the front. Using 3/4" inner diameter tubing, about 4"long. I put a small set screw in each to fasten to rails. Cut one end 45 degrees to match the angle of rear engine guard. 7/8" clamps (J &P Cycle) to fasten to guards. L shaped brackets to fix under saddle bags.

Got it. Thanks and will give that a try. Looks good framing your bags!

I thought it was an awfully amazing coincidence that Harley rails would fit a Rocket exactly like yours do.

Not amazing at all, since Triumph borrowed so much of the Harley look for the Touring.
