So my Viking bags will be here tomorrow, and my saddlebag stays will be here on Saturday. Now I need to find some mounting brackets. Problem is, there are two different kinds....depending on single seat or standard (double) seat. I have the standard. Honda says the part number is 08L70-MJR-670 but when I go to locate them, I see two listings, each with the same part number but with two different product pictures.....

Is this just a result of poor posting by the seller, or is my part number wrong?

Do the front of your bags kind of flare outward because of the stock honda mounting hardware?

I'm currently installing my Viking bags with he honda factory mounted and I have a very noticeable flare going on. The Honda mounts are not parallel to the bike, they are parallel to the rear fender.

I bought the same (almost same - - mine are gloss black) bags. I bought the stays from a member here and I just received the mounts in the mail yesterday. My next days off I will be mounting them on my Valkyrie. I will post pics as soon as I get them on. I am hoping it goes quickly but I see that I have to pretty much disassemble the whole rear to get the mounts and bags on!

OEM brackets

was any modification necessary to the OEM brackets & stays?
I installed the Viking saddlebags with no modifications to the OEM brackets and stays.
I simply removed the OEM saddlebags and used the same oem bolts with added washers.
I made a cut out of the side of the Viking saddlebag to properly position the holes I had to drill Into the Viking bags.
