What I have discovered since building these supports is that they're a bit too short and the soft-sided bags bend around the bottom of the supports and sag a bit. It is my plan to extend the 6" upright sections by a couple of inches. Haven't done this yet, though. When I do, I'll post new photos. I am using these brackets with Tour Master nylon bags.

Most are $75 to $100 plus. My Honda VLX 600 is considered a starter bike too. Thanks a million for posting this! I’m off to the store ASAP, have been looking on line for manufactured ones.

I just bought an EN500 Vulcan and was thinking how to mount a set of saddlebags on it. The article was exactly what I needed to know to complete the job. Thanks a million. Hey thanks a lot!
