As well, I wouldn't trust a site with the wrong info. I know that it says "Savage" on the heading, but it also says VS650. Not LS650....Suzuki does make a SV650, but that's a whole different bike.

I have trial fitted them to my Savage. The little tubes on the left side of the picture take a long ( 65mm ) bolt that screws into the bottom of the sissybar. The other side goes on the fenderrail with a longer bolt ( 60mm) and the same dome nut. Will post pictures when I have the thing fitted. Greetz Kropatchek

I'd never seen those before and the site info was wrong, so therefore I opted to be cautious about a recommendation. Picture please

I took my saddle bag supports off yesterday...not that I want to grind my saddle bags in the rear wheel, but I decided to use them only over the seat for long trips. My bags are 4 1/2 years old and the straps are beginning to break. They don't hang as low when over the seat

While manipulating the 12 MM wrench between the tire and fender, I did notice that the bolts are closer to the tire on the left side than the right. My supports mount differently than these. Do we have a picture yet?

I got the supports yesterday evening, and I can not figure out where they will actually go. The only place it seems to fit is in between the 2 unmarked holes on part 6 (figure below).

Also, will I need new bolts or the existing ones will fit?

What do you think Kropatcheck? You have similar supports. Right?

Let me know!

You need 2 bolts , lenght 65mm at pos. 3 and 2 longer bolts approx. 60mm (next) to pos. 9. Have not fitted mine yet. Greetz Kropatchek

Gargoyle Ex Member	Re: Saddle bags support Reply #11 - 08/19/04 at 07:07:39 The saddlebag supports look good. Pictures of products on web sites as well in catalogs may not be the ones you order. They often do not show a picture for every model of bike a part fits. Just one picture for all models to give a general idea of what it looks like.
