I am not impressed with the saddlebag rails I purchased from MC Enterprises. See photos under Accessories. Poor fit. Poor quality. Poor design. They are
unacceptable and will be returned.

Those saddle bag rails that you have are not the correct ones for the Tourer. I searched several of the Members Photos and looked at the MC Enterprise rails
compared them to the photos you posted and clearly yours are different.
Someone at the plant either stuck the wrong rails in the box or mis-labelled the box. Send them back. alepel |

I installed those same rails on my T last October (see prior post). You have the same rails, they actually take some tweaking to get them to sit right. I had
to get longer bolts with spacers to connect the rails to the same bracket the pipes are connected to. If you use the ones that came with the kit, it pulls the
rails down and you have the resultant slope, and it looks crappy. I will try to take some close up pictures of the 99 cent mod I did to the installation.
Look at my current bike pics under my profile and you will see that the MC rails look great. It really does take two sets of hands though to install the
rails.
Hope this helps. Sam (auggydoggy)

Not sure I can believe a guy that says he's 106 years old Sam, besides, I shouldn't have to 'tweak' something that was supposedly made for my
bike. If I wanted to 'tweak' something to fit, I can buy used Goldwing rails that almost fit for half the price.
