They should fit inside that small baffle inside the mini-grenade, baffle with space to spare. It's a larger than 1.5inch diameter space.

With a little help from this forum I was able to finish getting my Fatboy ready for the riding season. It looks like a poster child from the P&A catalog but Im ok with that. I added the Sundowner drivers and passenger seat, 4 inch pull back risers , Harley 19" windshield, Vance&hines 300 satin slip ons, Harley saddlebags, sissy bar with luggage rack, Custom under fender tail/turn light and license plate bracket, and finally Cruise control. I still need to have the cruise control activated.

What license plate bracket are you using? I moved mine to under the fender because I couldn’t find one like yours that works with the factory bags

I doesn't exactly clear I had to tilt it down a little to make sure it did not contact the saddle bags. The Ebay seller is from TN and makes them with a laser CNC. The quality is very good.
