After seeing pics of a couple of bikes I went and got a Bad&G battery bag.

I've got a '99 Wide Glide. I drilled holes in the cover and mounted the bag, no problem.... until I tried to put the cover back on. Apparently there isn't enough clearance between the battery & the cover to allow for the bolt heads.

So, for those of us who are (obviously) mechanically challenged, can anyone clue me in on this? Do I need to reposition the battery? Does it require a specific battery cover.... or am I just f***ed?

 

I've got an 05 dyna, was thinking about doing the same thing. You're probably gonna some very slim bolts, maybe carriage bolts, so they don't stick out too far towards the battery.

 

Looks like you ordered the wrong bag, 06 and up bolt on.
They do have bags that fit all years of Dynas - https://badgcustoms.com/bags/harley-...on/dyna/dbb031

Maybe you could exchange the bag you got with one that will work...

 

I dont think he has an issue with the bag, its the battery cover and battery. He cant find a nut that fits between the battery and the cover.

 

Mine was already pre-drilled and I had no issues using the bolts they provided - bolted up & snapped into place

 

I've been eyeballing a couple different battery bags like this, I came across these on ebay and then went to their site, I really like the look of these and I haven't seen a lot of bikes in my area with anything like it. I think it would be a great place to pack the small items, reg, ins cards, phone, peanut butter sandwich. Keep us posted how you make out with that bag, I have the original black battery cover I'd use case it doesn't work and I don't screw up the chrome one.
