Default FXDXT retro T-Sport Saddlebags on Sportster?

Anyone got a side shot of these bags on a Sportster? Looking to see how far back they extend compared to the rear fender bottom lip.

Thanks!

A specific angled pic to verify they'll work with my unusual rear signal location

If you look at LeatherPro's website, the FXDXT bags are on their Dyna tab, where there is a suitable photo. Take a look as there are at least two sideways photos.

I assumed that pictures on the Dyna tab would likely be of a Dyna.

True, but it looks the same as my Sporty. I'll try to take a photo tomorrow, it's dark now!

Thanks. The signals stick out about 2.25 inches beyond the widest part of the fender, right about at the bottom lip of the fender. I'm hoping, since my mount bolts will already need to be 3/4" longer than the usual since my sissy bar mounts in the same places the bags do, that it will work. Too much money to not be certain first....

Cool

Here are a couple of views, from the side and top. At their closest and most rearward the bags are 9 3/4" apart. My rear spacers are 11 5/8" wide, so you can see that the backplates are shaped towards each other at their lower rear parts. That is probably to help strengthen the backplates, it also helps disguise the presence of the mounting metalwork. My front spacers are wider apart, so the bags don't press against the seat, which means the bags are toed inwards at the rear, as you can see in the top photo.

Hope that helps!
