saddlebag interchange
Can somebody tell me if saddlebags off of a 1997 Aspencade will fit / work on a 1996 Aspencade? Were there any differences? Thank you!!

Re: saddlebag interchange
Yes, partzilla.com shows the same part number for 96 and 97 for same color.

All GL1500 bodywork is interchangeable for all model years of GL1500. Once they made the giant multi-million dollar injection molds to produce them, they didn't change them.

Re: saddlebag interchange
Wasn't there a change in '95 or '96 to the the lower cowl and side panels?
Don't think it changed them fitting older models, just slightly different in appearance?
