F3 with V-star 1300 Bags ??

[Lastchance]

Ok had these V-Star 1300 bags on my Raider and they were in the garage just hanging around so I thought I would give them a shot on the F3, this is a temp install, looking for opinions ( up-down forward-back ) or just doesn't work. Thanks for your thoughts.

They look good to me. Plus you are saving money by not having to buy new bags!

Look good to me. If you move them forward they will interfere with the passengers legs. Or possible yours. It's great to save money isn't it. :thumbup: Tom :spyder:

Nice!

I would not hesitate to put them on my F3!

Looks great!!! Just have a passenger sit on the back n adjust the front to rear positioning to accommodate for leg room and getting on and off..

They look real good--AND--you saved a bunch of money in the process. :2thumbs:

They look great. Back rather than forward for sure.

That looks pretty good. I'd personally probably move them back a little...

Thanks for the input looks like 1300 bags it will be, using the same Easy Brackets that were on my Raider just have to make an extension piece to mount the rear, front lined up right where you see it. I would like to go back an inch or so but that would mean re drilling the bags so where it is will be it.

F3 & Bags

Just an opinion!! Wow, do like the look and wish I had thought of it. I
like the height but would move them back to fit the flow of the rear fender.
Also, if you ride two up, moving them back would give your copilot a
little more room for the legs. Also, need to have some kind of a reflector
on bags to stay completely legal.:yes:

F3 and Bags

I was looking at your pics again and I think I would put
some type of adhesive backed foil on the bottom/leading
edge of the bag above the muffler. My bags have a reflective
foil and they are mounted just like yours above the muffler
and they still get pretty warm on road trips. Just a thought.
I do like the looks of the bags.
