If they're the ones on eBay right now, probably not. Do you have a z-rack, or any rack for side-mounted cases?

Laitch, thanks for the information. They are the ones on eBay. My bike has the Z mounts. Actually I bought these on eBay at this link. http://www.ebay.com/itm/162046158065?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. They have a few cracks (that they patched) but if they are not up to my standards I will redo the repair. I have found that JB Weld will fix anything. Plus a new paint job will make them look new. I have searched the world over and these are the best deal I have found so far for the price. I will not use them a lot but they are nice to have when you need them. A few friends and I are planning on going up (45 minutes away) to VIR (Virginia International Raceway http://virnow.com/) May 14 for a bike race (http://virnow.com/events/motoamerica-championship/). These bags as well as the tail bag will hold everything I need for the day.

It's a storm of commerce out there. I'm staying ashore. You got the type 3 cases so you'll be in good shape once they're fixed. The make good crash bumpers, too. Consider buying an extra set of hinges. If you have a hard landing they'll break but they're an easy fix.
