I also ordered the hondaline brackets for my VTX1300C but I had to drill four new holes in each bag to mount to the brackets, just to clear the directional by 1/2" forward.

Overall = expensive, exellent quality and adds to the funtionality, wide Wide WIDE in the garage so take this into consideration, no easy on/off or locks. Still, I'm pleased.

Of course I am still out the cost of installation and for Honda's god awful bag racks (Ugly, noisy (rattle) black and stick out several inches). If you are thinking saddlebags, make sure you want the look, and buy some nice chrome racks and cheap(er) aftermarket bags - don't waste money on Hondaline. Took my wife's cheap bags off her bike, but left her racks on for quick re-attachment cause they are thin chrome and look fine, the Honda's are disgusting. We both like the bag-less look s...

Generally easy to install and are very functional however dramatically changes the look of the bike and not sure about it yet. Not very easy for on off use so may look to find differnt brackets for easy removal when not used. Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No

(4 stars) reviewed on 06/26/05 by BOB (BOBINMA55) from AUBURN, MA, United States, for a 2005 1300 VTX1300C wrote: I got these from the dealer and they are very nice with a sporty flair. They are a bit on the small side but I really didn't want anything to big. They do hold a fair amount of gear. They are very pricey and if I had to do it all over again, I would shop around to see if there was something else out there that had the same quality for less money.

Extremely sturdy construction and pinch clips over latch and hook sinch ups are GREAT! Review Details  Was this review helpful to you? Yes No
