I have them (along with the led lights) but have not yet installed.  I think they will look great and compliment the air wing tourpak rack.  Will post some photos when I get them installed.

I've had both rails and LED installed since the summer. Will have to wait for photos.

Looks great  :2vrolijk_21:
I'm planning to install them on mine as well - was it difficult to install? Especially drilling the holes? Does it come with connectors so you can remove the bags easily? Any cable splicing necessary?
Thanks

You have to buy the LEDs separately.  But there is no splicing required.  LEDs come with all wiring and plug into the accessory plug which is in the space just in front of the battery.

Thanks a lot. I will order the lid rails with LED's and try to install them - still cheaper than repainting the saddle bags...

Could you put up a pic of the inside of the saddlebag lid? I'm mostly interested in the front mounting point.

Here are several shots.  Placement fore and aft is not critical except that you want to position the rail so that it is equidistant from the saddlebag lid from front to rear.  Move rail toward rear and the bottom of rail is closer to lid at the rear vs at the front, etc.  So you have some leeway here as to where you place the rails.  Of course centering them side to side on top of the lid is critical so take you time - measure twice, cut once as the carpenters say.  :2vrolijk_21:
