It's raining pretty good out there now, so I can't take any yet. However, I'll take some as soon as I can.

They'll fit any bike that has enough clearance over the exhaust. The bags are 14" tall. Add a few more inches to account for sagging of the mounting strips (the bags will rest slightly below the seat). and to provide a gap over the pipes. They have heat resistant panels on the bottom, but they can't touch the exhaust directly. If the exhaust is under the tail, you're fine. If it slants upward a lot, probably not. You just need at least two tie-down locations near the bottom of each bag. The front one will probably be the passenger foot pegs. I had a metal loop behind the license plate mount for the back.
