Default Hard Saddle Bags

I have a 2013 XL883L sportster that I would like to add hard saddlebags to. How do I measure for size of bags? Any suggestions on where to purchase them?

My GF just got a set of Viking bags for her 2011 superlow. Great look and fit great. But you will have to relocate the rear turn signals, which is a pretty easy task. The bags ran less than $250. Visit the Viking website to check them out.

I just got the large hard gloss black saddlebags for my 883XL. Viking with the shock cut out. I was worried they would be to thick. I also worried about mounting because I also have the quick release cargo deck. Bags came super fast. Surprised at the quality. Mounting was a bit taxing however as I had to fabricate new mounting brackets because of the deck. The stock set up will be much easier without this. I couldn't be happier with the outcome. I did have to relocate the rear turn signals. Whole thing about $450. total.
