Default FL Saddle Bags on a Wide Glide

A buddy of mine has a 01 Wide Glide and wants to put FL Hard Bags on it.
Does any one make a mounting/support kit to do this or is he on his own

Has anyone done this conversion

Check out softbrake. I know they make the bagger tail for softails, but I do not know about Dyna's...

I will be putting RKCL bags on my Dyna soon. I imagine ghost or easy brackets will work with any bag. Give them a look.

It would also help to put a steel plate inside the bag for support as the fiberglass can break.

There is a member who mounted them on his dyna. I think he made a bracket. Either Priest or someone else who added a batwing to their bike. Sorry if I'm wrong but do a search of the forums for batwing or sometghing like that.

Why put hard bags on that Bike? Consider bags from Biker's Friend. Back support, storage, and looks better I think.


I dunno. Jus my opinion. I have the 02 Wide Glide.
