Default question about some accesories for RKC

Hello, I would like to add some chrome to my bike and I have some questions.

are nostalgic saddlebag rails, vtwin logo front and rear rails easy to install?

is easy to open and close the bags with bags rails on? it seems that the clips on the leather belts are at the same height that that the rails.

Is it easy to remove the bags once the nostalgic rails are installed? I remove saddlebags eveytime I wash the bike.

Thank you very much for your help

I have the nostalgic saddlebag rails...easy to install. It is a little difficult to get to the bag clips, and the chrome buckles rattle against the rails ocasionally. No problem with removing the bags.

I have them. Easy to install and love the look. You learn to get to the clips. It's not great but it's not hard either.

Keep them clean and waxed. I'm not big into detailing. Washing the bike for the first time in a month or two and they are starting to rust. It's my fault for not keeping them protected but it's only been a year.

As previous posters.....no issues except you learn to live with clips being tight against the rails. I also remove bags at every wash.....have to clean spokes and whitewalls....condition leather on bags.
