Do these bags fit a 2005 road star? Do these bags also require the purchase of a mounting kit or support bracket for the 2005 Yamaha Road Star?

These just slip over the fender with no mount. But I had the long pipes on my vstar and they touched the bottom of the bag and started burning so I got rid of them.

Thanks for the inquiry. These are an universal bag made for many motorcycles. They should fit.Best regardsRichard

The bracket is a universal mount and should fit your bars - the basket requires about 9 inches of clearance below the handlebars to clear the tire.

Yes, these floorboards need additional mounting brackets when replacing the stock foot pegs. The Yamaha part is STR-4WM57-40-01. I purchased both of these items from Amazon and they look great on my 04 RoadStar!

You do need to buy brackets because the existing bike ones will not work. Bought the brackets from the same seller.

The product comes with ample amount of straps for mounting this bag any way you want. Yes it will fit. The bag and straps are very good quality as well. I have it on my 2013 crf250 Honda and it works very well.

The mounting / clip system came with the bag. It did not fit my handle bars, even with two different size rings.

Debra, I installed these on a 1995 Intruder 800 and did not use brackets. The bags are hard side and with the included ties and several optional points to use them, I think you'll be fine on your GS250. The shocks will keep them plenty far off of the tire and the ties will stabilize them from blowing out while cruising. I have thought many times since I bought these bags that they were one of the single best upgrades I made to my bike.

I bought them formy son's honda Shadow but they should fit almost any bike asthey have adjustable straps. You will need to order mmetal brackets to suit your year and model of bike or measure distance of mounting holes centerto center. Brackets are necessary to keep bags from getting into tire. Rest of bagssupplied fit any bike with windshield andpassenger sissy bar..Arie

These are pretty universal as they are throwovers' and can be adjusted. They work just fine with my 2011 Honda Shadow Phantom even without the mounting bracket, so if you're bike's pipes are a similar configuration as mine then you should be okay. I really like these bags good quality

Im not sure as I have a Yamaha Road Star. It does mount high on the memphis shades wind screen so it should be OK.

Mounting brackets will stop the bags from leaning on your fenders and keeps them from touching the wheels. I'm sure you can find them on Amazon. I would not spend much money on them. Nobody will see them as long as you have the bags on. Btw, the bags are very nice. I am happy with them.

Thanks for the inquiry. These are universal bags that will fit sport bike style motorcycles. Depending on your model you may need some type of saddlebag support.Best regardsRichard

I used the sale bag mounts sold here. I drilled small holes in the back and used electrical ties to fasten them. They have held up great with helmets and gear in them for a year now
