Re:saddlebags 2 Years, 5 Months ago  
i used the stock brackets and modified the to accept the hd bags.. i made a post some time back i think it was titled hd bags on stock brackets..not for sure, there should be pics in the post. my computer crashed a month ago and i lost all my pics. if you have a welder and some fab skills its a half day job. i had to make small brackets to hook into the hd bags.

Re:saddlebags 2 Years, 5 Months ago  
Good topic! I have been thinking about upgrading to hard bags and I think the Harley ones are the biggest and nicest looking ones out there. Any one know where I can get a set cheap?
