I've just picked up some saddlebags and am looking for the guard / support I need.
I've read several reports in this and other forums that the supports for a Honda Magna will fit.
After a few hours on google, I've found these which look like the best I've seen so far.

I emailed the company and asked for the bolt hole to bolt hole distance and they said 5 3/4". I went a measured my bike and it was 5". While scratching my head, I looked to the right and what did I see ... a Honda Magna
So, I measured the bolt to bolt distance and it was also 5".
I double checked with MC Enterprises but they were sure the distance was 5 3/4.
I'm really not sure whether to order them because though they promise it will fit the Magna (and logic dictates they should also fit my Speedy) they are also sure about the measured distance. Can anyone point me in the direction of a pair of support that will 100% fit and don't look sh!t?
I've considered easy / ghosts brackets but don't want them to stick out from the side of the bike that much. I also take my sissy bar and rack off every now and then and it takes all of 2 minutes. Can't see it being anymore hassle to take the bags off should I ever want too.
Also, if interested these are the bags I got ...
