Default Metal Tool box
When is somebody going to make the old tear drop metal swing arm tool box for the 2018 and later softail swing arm?

I fitted one to my 2018 deluxe easily with a modified bracket and redrilled some holes in the back of the box. Sits nicely in the swingarm too. I'll post some pics shortly.

Yeah I've got mine sitting in the box at home. When I get back in country I'm going to have a shop fab a bracket to mount it.

I didn't use the bracket in the final mount. I used 2 'P' brackets (steel brackets with rubber coverings) and used these to wrap around the bottom swingarm. I then fabbed a piece of steel and utilised a bolt at the top swingarm tube. I had to re-drill the holes in the back of the tool box but that was easy.
