Default 2018 Fatboy Saddlebags

I have a 2018 Fatboy I would like to put on Saddlebags. I am looking at doing hard bags. Any one done this yet. I am stuck on what to do with the license plate and turn signals. Any help would be much appreciated.

I put Viking Lamellar bags on mine, they have several bags to choose from. Yes, you have to relocate the tail lights to make room. I bought the HD tailight relocation kit. I also changed out the rear reflector under the fender with a tail light from Custom Dynamics, when you have the wires out for the relocation, it would be a good time to do it.

I looked at the Viking bags. I was thinking more like touring hard bags.
